I'm told that all version of CFS since 1.0.4 (the latest is 1.3.1)

I am wondering if he is compiling for ELF.  That seems to throw a good size
monkey wrench into just about every piece of software out there.  (At least
the ones that have not been written to take the ELF paculiarities into account.)

I'm not sure exactly what problem you're having, but the most common
CFS-Linux problem that people complain about has to do with the rpcgen
output not being in the format expected by the rest of CFS.  There
seem to be two things you can do about this:  get a version of rpcgen
that generates the "standard" (original Sun) names for the functions it
generates, or just grab the rpcgen output from the cfs-users mailing list
archive ("echo help | mail cfs-users-request@research att.com" for details).
I think you may be right on this one.  I have heard of a few other things
having problems with Linux's version of rpcgen.  (The names of which are not
coming to mind...  Need more coffee.)

I hereby admit that I'm a commie-fascist brainwashed sold out member of the
military-industrial complex who has been programmed by his masters to
infiltrate the cypherpunks in order to sap and impurify their precious
bodily fluids.
I think that the mention of Mr. Bill as a "good guy" is the most effective
use of agent provoceteur-type behaviour I have seen on this list yet.

We know who Mat and Jeff work for.  Who do the anon-flamers work for?
