I just tried (version 3.3.6): % telnet localhost 7100 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. BBBBBB and nothing happens. I quit telnet and xfs still runs. HOWEVER, I've been having problems this last week with xfs disappearing several times, with about 25 xterms getting off line due to this :-( There are no traces. I'm running xfs under a 'xfs' account, not root. I had to set client-limit = 50 so that it doesn't self-clone, because whenever it tries to self-clone it crashes. I don't know if it's because I'm running it not as root. I didn't dare to try... BTW, the debian package doesn't allow to run xfs under another account, I had to hack it manually...
