This may or may not be what you're looking for but we recently found a
version problem with our rgyd.  We had upgraded our master registry node to
10.2 but for some reason the /etc/rgyd was not updated (possibly because it
was locked during the install but that shouldn't make a difference).  In any
case we were running the 10.1 rgyd on a 10.2 node in a mixed 10.1 and 10.2
network.  I recopied the file, rebooted the node and we've been fat, dumb,
and happy ever since.  Try the following command on your networks:

ts //*/etc/rgyd

The version we are running in our 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 network is this:

o 3 rs_c              1989/10/06  8:22:41 CST (Fri)  /etc/rgyd
