The file was a little over 2.3 MB, tarred and gzip'd. Are you  
referring to 1.0.3, or some patch on top of 1.0.3? I thought the  
large files problem was supposed to be solved in 1.0.2 anyway. It  
seems that there is another issue with large files, at least on my  
BSD machines. Has anyone had success with files bigger than, say, 3  
MB (after compression), being returned by custom plug-in jobs? If so,  
what is your configuration?

OK, /usr/local/etc it is.

That wouldn't quite do it in terms of incorporating hostnames into  
machine IDs--there needs to be support for cluster nodes which share  
a drive, and thus also config file. We need some way of generating  
unique machine IDs for them, and hostname seems like a good option.  
There could be some flag in the config file on whether or not to  
include hostnames...


I'll be busy for a week or two with (among other things) upgrading  
machines to 10.4. After that I'll try to get on these issues.
