Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2022-04-14 08:32:38 CEST
The communication with vsmserver currently happens over a Unix socket, which means that tlctl only works on the master machine(s). It would be convenient if it worked from at least any machine in the cluster.
Comment 1 William Sjöblom cendio 2024-11-18 10:10:15 CET
Right now, this is the error message you get when running `tlctl session list` on an agent instead of the master:

> tlctl: error: cannot contact the master (vsmserver): [Errno 111] Connection refused

New users are likely to get confused by this. Hence --- just adding a more descriptive error message here (for example by adding "Make sure you are running this command on a ThinLinc master node") would relieve the situation quite a bit.
