A follow up from my last post.  

I found out that server map is NOT the System.map file.  It's referring
to the vsd conf files.  It turns out that I had compiled freevsd from
the source.  The install created /usr/local/etc/vsd and placed them
there.  SO why I did was create a symbolic link to /etc/vsd.  That got
past the error message.

Not the problem is that after I start vsd, I get no message:

[root@localhost /etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsd start

[root@localhost /etc]#

When I check the daemon status it says: 

[root@localhost /etc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/vsd status
vsd dead but subsys locked

Thing is that there is no log file or entry in /var/log/messages to give
me a clue what could be wrong.  Has anyone seen this before?  What do I
do to debug a little more?

Thanks,

pablo
