Could you show us > your configuration? Unfortunately, I can't give the exact config, because I didn't bother to save it when I reinstalled (since it wasn't working anyway). I tried following the man page to the letter, so I'll try it again here and document my exact steps. However, your reply is already a large portion of the answer I was looking for: that it does work if done correctly, and therefore it's worth me trying again.
