Hello All, I am currently trying to configure bro-2.3.1 for a basic cluster as outlined on [bro.org](http://bro.org). I have a physical box with the IP 192.168.1.144 (Ubuntu 14.04 server) and a VM (Ubuntu 12.04 LTE) with the IP 192.168.1.107. I have tried using both the root user with ssh keys generated and exchanged between the machines and a 'bro' user --after changing the ownership of /nsm/bro to that user. I can execute /nsm/bro/bin/broctl and perform an install fine (the proxy and manager boot) but I get worker-1 still initializing. Then when I run a status worker-1 states it's crashed. Running a diag shows: /nsm/bro/bin/bro: 1: /nsm/bro/bin/bro: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string /nsm/bro/bin/bro: 1: /nsm/bro/bin/bro: ELF: not found The second line has some funny characters in it which makes me think I might be missing a dependency. Has anyone seen this or know of a quick fix? Literally all I did was follow the guide and commented out the stand-alone stuff in node.cfg and then un-commented the cluster stuff + set my hosts to the IPs, exchanged SSH keys, ran broctl install, then status to see nothing working. Thanks guys! ---

I’m curious if your Bro binary isn’t getting copied over to your worker node correctly. I would take a look at your Bro binary to see if it is in fact a binary. 🙂 Could you also send me your node.cfg off list?   .Seth ---
