I discovered that the connection being refused was because systemimager-system-monitord had not been started and that port 8181 had not been opened in the server firewall. The instructions state that systemimager-server-rsyncd needs to be started and port 873 opened but nothing about requiring systemimager-system-monitord and port 8181. I would humbly suggest that some more/better error messages, or a verbose mode, would make it a lot easier to find these kind of problems R.Parr P.S. The above got me past this problem but not installed yet but that is for the next email :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ sisuite-users mailing list sisuite-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sisuite-users
