Ha! It feels good to have half a clue ;) An earlier post clarified that I was using a wrong library version, so this should fix the utxconfig segfault problem, and I should have SunRay love tonight. The next wish, which seems popular today, is for USB mass storage. That means Maggie can plug her digital camera into the SunRay and it'll mount it for her. Until then she'll have to plug it into the server directly. This is a home network, so it's certainly not an issue, just a nicety. -- Thanks, Matthew Lambie Technical Director THE FRONTIER GROUP, PTY. LTD.
