Hello,

I am having some issue getting lcdproc to work on a remote machine. Got 
the files on the remote machine and configured, but when I attempt to 
connect from my desktop (using lcdproc & it's remote server conf file) I 
get error connecting.

Here is a copy of my 2 conf files:

---
lcdproc.remote_server.conf (on my machine)

[lcdproc]
Server=12.345.678.90
Port=13666
ReportLevel=0
ReportToSyslog=true
PidFile=/var/run/lcdproc.pid

---
LCDd.conf (on remote host)

[server]
DriverPath=/usr/lib/lcdproc/
Driver=lis
#Bind=127.0.0.1
Bind=12.345.678.90
Port=13666
ReportLevel=0
ReportToSyslog=yes
User=root
Hello="Connected -> Remote"
Hello="   Server Monitor"
GoodBye=" Disconnecting Remote"
GoodBye="      Goodbye!"
WaitTime=10
ServerScreen=no
TitleSpeed=6

[lis]
Brightness=250
Size=20x2
#VendorID=0x0403
#ProductID=0x6001

I have no probs starting/stopping LCDd on the remote machine. Just can't 
connect from my desktop. :( Maybe you can see something I should have 
set differently? Maybe it is a file permission issue: server file -> 
root & desktop lcdproc -> superuser.

I appreciate any insight you may have. I opened up a thread over at the 
ubuntu forums with a similar message.

Thank you for your time,
