I've seen the archives, and I *know* people have got this working with FreeBSD before. Can anyone tell me what version of FreeBSD this was with, or has anyone else solved this problem under 2.1.0? The symptoms are: * The software compiles after applying the recommended fixes from the Xylogics site, and the Annex is able to boot from the running erpcd. * However, the remote administration command (na) does not work, failing with a timeout when I try to communicate with an Annex and the Annex is unable to communicate with the erpcd running as a security server. I'm not sure if the problem is at the level of networking code or something more obvious. * I have the TCP extensions turned off on the machine in question, and yes, I have tried turning them on just to see if it makes a difference. * The Xylogics support people don't understand this at all - as far as they know it all works with FreeBSD, but they're not sure what version. From the mail in the archive I suspect that it was either 2.0.5 or 1.1.5 that people were using when it was discussed. Anyone know? Colman
