[Mono-list] Service problem

[Andreas Färber]

Okay, I'm a step further now and have found out that I should use
*mono-service2* because I am compiling with gmcs.
Unfortunately neither the official FC4 package nor the Blastwave Solaris
package include this, so I've compiled it manually from SVN, derived a
wrapper script and copied both to their respective places. Is this file
new or is this a packaging problem?

This time with mono-service2 I am really not seeing any response from
the server in the trace.
The client still receives a zero length response, and the server is gone
afterwards without any error message in /var/log/messages. And if I run
the same server class as a console app it works.

Noticing in monoservice.cs that Syscall.syslog is used for logging I
have also eliminated all Console.Error.WriteLine calls, but no change.

Any help appreciated!

Andreas
