[Pacemaker] Booth-Arbitrator tries to call crm_ticket

[Michael Wagner]

Hi,

as far as I understood from the documentation, the booth-arbitrator is not part of any cluster-site, and just responsible for communicationg with the other sites.
However, in my test-setup (2 sites, 1 arbitrator) I figured out that also the arbitrator tries to run the crm_ticket - command:

2013-02-13T13:59:35.082+01:00 pgnode3 booth-arbitrator[] info: [13611]: info: command: 'crm_ticket -t Ticket -S owner -v 1' was executed
2013-02-13T13:59:35.131+01:00 pgnode3 booth-arbitrator[] info: [13611]: info: command: 'crm_ticket -t Ticket -S expires -v 1360760495' was executed
2013-02-13T13:59:35.195+01:00 pgnode3 booth-arbitrator[] info: [13611]: info: command: 'crm_ticket -t Ticket -S ballot -v 7' was executed

Which fails, as strace shows:
14307 execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "crm_ticket -t Ticket -S owner -v"...], [/* 21 vars */]) = 0
....
14307 write(2, "Could not establish cib_rw conne"..., 64) = 64
...

(which is clear, as I do not have pacemaker installed on the arbitrator-node). 

I´m using the latest version from GIT:

This is my booth.conf:

transport="UDP"
port="6666"
arbitrator="192.168.181.103"
site="192.168.181.107"
site="192.168.181.108"
ticket="Ticket;120"

(Same on all nodes), and seems to be OK, the booth-daemon recognizes itself as arbitrator during startup:
"info: [13611]: info: BOOTH arbitrator daemon started"

After some investigation I think, that in line 394 of ticket.c, some check such as "if (booth_conf->node[ticket_get_myid()].type != ARBITRATOR)" is missing. Am I right, or is there some reason for the arbitrator to call store_ticket?
