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!

 I'm using the "mis server" command.  Nothing special.

No events that would specifically call out node 1.

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.

Thanks for the suggestions!  I do appreciate it.
