I'm trying really hard to RTFM, but haven't found anything that is
even half complete and/or correct. Which are the "necessary paths"?
Which processes should there even be?

Anyhow, thanks for the hint, I hadn't looked for errors regarding
directories because I had assumed (wrongly) that the Debian packages
would include all necessary directories. Now I found this:

Oct  5 16:06:46 cluster0 attrd: [2838]: ERROR: socket_wait_conn_new:
trying to create in /var/run/crm/attrd bind:: No such file or
directory
Oct  5 16:06:46 cluster0 attrd: [2838]: ERROR: wait_channel_init:
Can't create wait channel of type uds: No such file or directory (2)

(Since "attrd" is not mentioned anywhere in the included documentation
I will look at the source, or use try and error to find out the
correct ownership of this directory.)

Thanks, Colin
