Ok first things first...install xfstt here at work (I have an old version
on this machine).
Weird...I am having problems with this...
ok now it is installing :)
ok I was wrong (d'ho) it IS
--daemon (and all theother optuions use -- too )
ok...are you running it as root? if it is run as a normal user it fails (I
believe specifically it needs write acess to something but...I need to
look ;))
