Okay, looks like we're getting closer...

Looking back in the archives, I found a thread of someone getting a "Read
Timeout" error as well.  One of the suggestions was to look in the
/etc/inetd.conf file for a line containing the vsd startup command.  It
existed, except because of it's length (it wrapped), I attempted to make it
look "pretty" by adding a "\" and moving the rest to the next line... I
guess it didn't like that :-)  Once I returned the line to it's original
"unpretty" format, I seem to get a bit further, but this time a new error
comes up.

As per Ben Kinnish's suggesttion, I type in:

-----
# vsdadm vs_create aphrodite.domain.com zeus 192.168.2.3 zeus.domain.com 200
0 5 skel
-----

but the following error comes up:

-----
error: -ERR Skel skel does not exist
-----

As per the installation instructions, the Skel is in /home/vsd/skel.  I even
tried specifying that exact path, instead of just putting "skel", but it
came up with the same error.  This may have something to do with the way I
installed the skel.  The instructions said to do this:

-----
# tar -zIf freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62.tar.bz2 -C /home/vsd/skel
-----

but returned an error that "I" was an invaild option.  When I do a "man
tar", the "I" option doesn't even appear.  <shrug> It may be something
specific to Trustix; I'm not entirely sure....  Anyway, I did the following
to install the Skel:

-----
# cp freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62.tar.bz2 /home/vsd
# cd /home/vsd
# bunzip2 freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62.tar.bz2 /home/vsd
# tar -xf freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62.tar
# rm -f freevsd-skel-1_4_9-2rh62.tar
-----

Of course, I also ran the vsd-install.pl script.  I can't really see what
difference that would have made, but I just thought I'd mention it, in case
it really is significant.

Any further ideas?
