OK. With these patches I can start the User Interface (ui)
but as I don't have inetd running I can't rsh from localhost
to localhost to start the server.
I can work around this by (http://www.opendx.org/started.html)
dx -uionly &
dx -execonly&
to start the ui and server seperately.
Then I try to connect to the ui to the server
- select "Connection - start server" from ui menu
- select "options" and connect to existing server
and then connect
The server sees this and responds with
"server: accepted connection from client"
then fails with "ExHostToFQDN failed"
Looks like some sort of DNS lookup error or similar,
so it may be specific to my configuration.
I saw that the version Suhaib distributed had its own
private rsh.exe. It may have avoided the rsh problems
above by avoiding all the network stuff.

Okay, I'll hold off. Any hints as to what else we should fix first?
