I installed the latest JRE from sun, and pointed to that. Console starts, but hangs at authentication: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /opt/fedora-ds/lib/libjss3.so: libnss3.so: cannot op en shared object file: No such file or directory at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown Source) at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown Source) at org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.loadNativeLibraries(CryptoManager.java:1330) at org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.initialize(CryptoManager.java:822) at org.mozilla.jss.CryptoManager.initialize(CryptoManager.java:795) at com.netscape.management.client.util.UtilConsoleGlobals.initJSS(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.comm.HttpsChannel.<clinit>(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.comm.HttpManager.createChannel(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.comm.CommManager.send(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.comm.CommManager.send(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.comm.HttpManager.get(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.console.Console.invoke_task(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.console.Console.authenticate_user(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.console.Console.<init>(Unknown Source) at com.netscape.management.client.console.Console.main(Unknown Source) I looked at the libjss3.so and it was not executable. Once I used chmod on it, there does not seem to be an issue. I switched back to the original 7.1 install, so when I started up the console it did not see what it shoudl have due to diffeing versions. -- Daniel Shackelford Systems Administrator Technology Services Spring Arbor University 517 750-6648 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" Mark 10:45
