[AG-TECH] AG2.1.1b multi-machine node problems

[Eric Olson]

Hi Mike,
Ivan and I didn't have any problems the TVS this morning, but let us know 
if it's still not working for you.

And on linux,
Thanks for noticing the /tmp/local_services directory.  We're moving the 
local services (cache) to be in the user's ~/.AccessGrid/local_services 
directory, but it looks like it didn't get built into the last rpm so 
we'll get that fixed.  Moving it to the user's directory will avoid the 
past problems with the tmp directory.

Thanks again,
Eric
