I have a vague recollection of reading about that some time back...

So you're only running it locally,  then,  and not on the other boxes.  I 
guess that makes some sense.

Right now my one console on this box is ssh-connected to my firewall/router 
and commands mostly consist of "on &" and "off",  and since the former drops 
me back to a command prompt I can fire up mc or whatever on that box if I 
need to for some reason.

Still playing with the various options when it comes to networking here...
