Turns out some applications won't work if you move the socket if they are configured to access localhost. Seems like a misunderstanding of networking if you can specify a port number in a configuration file but the application looks to the filesystem for the socket. There is no way to specify a file location so it seems doomed to fail — as it did. The apps in question are net-mgmt/cacti and net-mgmt/cacti-spine. -- Paul Beard Are you trying to win an argument or solve a problem?
