Duh! I never thought of that. Thanks!
I'm still having problems with the tcpport. I've set tcpport 10000 in my diald
options and when I connect to this with from the same machine with 'dctrl -host
localhost -port 10000' the monitor windows show all the usual information. But all
requests issued via the dctrl controls are ignored - it says so in the bottom window,
eg:
Fri Jun 25 00:10:20 1999 BST TCP 127.0.0.1:9482: Ignored request 'down'
What am I doing wrong? Is there some sort of authentication scheme in force even for
local users, like there is with dialmon? I couldn't find any reference to it.
