   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!

    NB> How are you running the server (ie: what command line are you using)?   
    NB>    
    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,   
    NB> you may want to try changing those to your highest node number.. and   
    NB> don't forget to restart the mystic server after any changes.   
   No events that would specifically call out node 1.

    NB> Do you have a local login ("mystic -l" or something similar) running in

    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.   
      
    NB> Regards,

   Thanks for the suggestions!  I do appreciate it.
