The commands in /etc/clustershell/groups.conf do not work with mawk, which is installed by default in Debian. Only with gawk, they work correctly.

{{{
# mawk -F: '/^[[:alnum:]_]/ {print $1}' /etc/clustershell/groups
# gawk -F: '/^[[:alnum:]_]/ {print $1}' /etc/clustershell/groups
nodes
all
}}}

For now the following patch is in the debian packages repository [1] :
