We too are using the 3.3 client binary under 4.0. Please note that xsetiathome IS not the seti client, you must run 'setiathome -graphics' AND 'xsetiathome' in order to obtain a graphical display of S@H on a FreeBSD box. (In my own experience I find running 'setiathome -verbose -graphics' from a console terminal, and then 'xsetiathome' from within X runs much stabler). Feel free to drop me a line if you still can't seem to get it working, I'll be happy to help you figure it all out. -- Nathan Vidican webmaster@wmptl.com Windsor Match Plate & Tool Ltd. http://www.wmptl.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
