Hi all,

since this morning, PTS updates are failing for us (I rebooteded the 
servers yesterday). Here is the symptom:

/usr/bin/pts createuser -name XXX -id YYY
/usr/bin/pts: not synchronization site (should work on sync site) ; 
unable to create user XXX with id YYY

udebug output looks good to me (see below). Time seems ok. The server 
NetInfo has the primary network interface of the respective server on 
it. I am lost. Maybe one of you can spot something...

Thanks and best wishes,

Christian
