--------------------------------------------------------------
So I hate to revive an old thread, but I tried the method described here several different times, at first following the instructions verbatim (twice), and in subsequent tries I attempted to troubleshoot myself. I suppose the first question is whether the method dpetzel described still works on the current version (v.3.2.1)? If so, I have tried multiple times following these instructions to the proverbial "T" and still no dice. After finishing the install, I'd get to a point where I'd have a Zenoss "master" box with a web interface, and a collector without one. SSH between the machines was working correctly (a `ps aux` on the system would show the master box SSH'd into the collector successfully). I added a remote monitor in on the Master's web interface, and attempted to add a device to be monitored by the remote collector (it showed up in the "monitor" drop-down in the add device menu) but the job to create it on the remote collector was stalled. I had tracked down the process on the collector server to "zendisc" and its creation process. I couldn't find anything wrong with the logs. Just to be thorough, I took down the firewall on both systems, and SELinux is (and has been since I installed the system) off.
My operating system is CentOS x86_64 and I installed Zenoss via RPM. Any ideas?
