Hello WC,

Thank you for the information. I understand now why ./sctpd worked on one
machine and not the other. The IP address on the machine where the command
worked (dev0) is 192.168.1.3 - one of the same addresses configured in
sctpd.conf in a freshly untarred pre14. It was an accidental success.
Mystery solved.

I have not played around with the LOG_LEVEL yet.

I tried sctpd_programs/daytime_simple on the non-X11R6 machine(test3). It
didn't work and complained about not finding libgdk-blah-blah I tried
daytime_simple on the machine that has X11R6 (dev0) and it came up and
registered with sctpd. It seemed to use a command line interface. I checked
the Makefile and daytime_simple.c in /sctpd_programs and found strong
indications that gdk is being used. Copying libgdk-blah-blah to test3 was
not a remedy.

Here is what did work:

On dev0 in one window I ran sctpd , and in another window I ran
sctpd_programs/sctp_monitor (a GUI box opened)
I copied programs/terminal from dev0 to test3
On test3 I ran ./terminal -V -d 192.168.1.3 -s 192.168.1.7
On dev0 GUI box I saw connection monitor information
On test3 I typed something to the terminal program and it was echoed back
On dev0 GUI box I saw what I typed at the terminal program

It seems that those interested in running the samples in sctpd_programs
should have at least one workstation with Gtk on it - not an unreasonable
requirement - but worth knowing going in.

I was able to run the sctpd_programs from my user account by opening a shell
with "su root" instead of "su -". I wonder why? I'm going to have drag out
the Stevens books to sort out that uid, sid, gid stuff one day.

Thanks again for your help.

Mike
