direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.

Yes, thank you very much. Indeed I did check it previously by stopping firewall on both 
nodes but forgot that SuSEfirewall2 was controlled by two services and stopped only one of 
them. Now the moment I stopped both services, the connection appeared, so I opened the 
7789 port in the firewall.

One thing is still unclear. While synchronization has not been over I closed the port 
again in both firewalls and restarted both services on both nodes. The connection state is 
now 'WFConnection' and it stays unchanged. Nevertheless I see the following in the tcpdump 
log:

What does this exchange mean?
