   The botcheck is an addon (smooth@phenomprod.com) that I've installed, not   
   written. I'll get into the code and see what I can see, but thanks for the   
   note!

    I'm using the "mis server" command. Nothing special.   
      
    NB> Do you have any events (see event editor) setup to run on node 1? If so,

   No events that would specifically call out node 1.

    NB>   
   I've been over all of the running services and nothing sticks out. As a side   
   note, I did install Mystic on a laptop running Ubuntu just to check things   
   out. It ran fine with logins starting with node 1. As soon as I moved the   
   screen, data and other files over from the windows board, I got the same node   
   2 issues. I suspect that the issue is with one of the "configuration" files   
   having either some sort of corruption (maybe my creation?) or configuration   
   issue. I just need to figure out which one.

   Thanks for the suggestions! I do appreciate it.
