2. Using the CCM login (via serverconfig script), list servers is possible.
3. On list servers, while C++ processes like the CMS and FRSs are running fine, the java processes like APS and AJS are running with errors.
4. Repairing the Node fixes this problem - but upon restart services (startservers), the same login problem is back.
5. Cannot login thru CMC, or anything java specific (eg create another node or addnode). But server config login and list servers works.
