I also couldn't get the Shutdown Client to work with the server running on an NT box, even though no errors were displayed. I've already modified the installation script to detect FreeBSD and DTRT for the most part, and if I ever get this to work under emulation, I think I'll make a port out of it (ala the StarOffice and WP ports), and possibly even submit the installation script patches to TrippLite, while at the same time pushing them for a native FreeBSD version. :-) -- Chris Dillon - cdillon@wolves.k12.mo.us - cdillon@inter-linc.net FreeBSD: The fastest and most stable server OS on the planet.
