Hi all, Well, I finally read the docs! It turns out that although the server statements are in the dict.conf client configuration, the /usr/lib/dict file is scanned for dictionaries only when the server is started, or on receipt of SIGHUP. It is not sufficient to simply edit dict.conf and save the changes. As a result, copying the supplied dictionaries from /usr/share/dict to /usr/lib/dict and then restarting the server, or sending it the reqired signal, will update the revised file. Doing that, I know have the desired local dictionary databases running. Sorry for any misinformation I may have shared earlier. The lesson, as if you didn't know: RTFM!
