That's excellent news!

I have updated the wiki page at

  https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Basic_CTDB_configuration

* I clarified important notes for the nodes file by adding a heading
  and breaking the relevant paragraph into dot points

* I added a "Troubleshooting" section mentioning firewall and
  differing identical nodes files as being common causes for nodes not
  connecting to each other

peace & happiness,
