Thats true...and that is exactly WHY I moved xfstt to port 7101
I believe it was xfstt_0.9.9-3 where it was moved to 7101...but..
the version in 2.0 (hamm) is xfstt_0.9.7-1 (made before I was maintainer)

you must make sure that xfstt is not only installed but STARTED.
The upgrade to 2.0 involves restarting (to make sure that everything
is using the proper wtmp utmp update routines/wrappers)

Versions prior to xfstt_0.9.9-1 or -1 did NOT have ain /etc/init.d
script...later version s do (and all of the most recent bugs have
related to the init.d file...sigh...its working now tho)

(one more upload to fix its last tiny bit of "brokenness"..nothing major tho..
just makes sure you don't start it twice...which makes no sense with my
multi-connections patch)
