Thanks for the recommendations on what to try. I removed the agentXperms and I did a chmod 755 on /tmp/agentx
Which helped get past the original error. However, I get a new error now when I try to run the master agent: agentx/master: initializing... agentx/master: initializing... DONE Error opening specified endpoint "" Server Exiting with code 1 Any ideas on what would cause this?

And if it does, check the permissions. Another thing to try - what happens if you omit the "agentXperms" line? If the agent is running as a user other than 'nobody', then it's possible that it won't be able to create and/or use the socket, since you are specifying an explicit user/group. It might work better with the default user/group. Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards: VOTE NOW!
