Ah, there is an empty /etc/corosync/uidgid.d/ directory

The coroipc_overview manpage refers you to the coroipcs_init manpage, which
doesn't exist :-(

However what you gave me was enough info to google and find:

https://alteeve.com/w/Two-Node_Fedora_14_corosync.conf#The_uidgid.d_Directory

It's working now, thank you.

BTW, Google did also point me at
http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sheepdog/wiki/Corosync%20Config
which appears to be dead (giving a python IOError right now)

But on github I then found this page:
https://github.com/collie/sheepdog/wiki/Corosync-config

I used the 'Pages' link to find it, although it *is* linked from
Getting-Started if you look carefully.

Thanks again,

Brian.
