Lars, are you sure of this?  The way I see it, port 1529 is listening
for connections but I was disconnected because the listener is not a
telnetd service.

Host access file?  Are you taking about gnatsd.access?  I thought
gnatsd.access file has three required fields, you didnt mean
gnatsd.conf?  I do have the following line in my gnatsd.access:

*:*:edit

Every machine on the network where gnats is being installed has a
192.168.1.* address.
 
 Does your gnats/web

No it does not.

Marc De Boeck also responded and his suggestion was to include the
following line in gnatsd.access:

*:*:listdb

Before I received your emails, I had the following line already in that
file:

*:*:view:normal

I since changed it to edit with no change in error.  According to the
header of that file, listdb is not an option for the 3rd field, is this
a difference in versions?  I am running  3.113.1.

He also mentioned putting gnats in debug mode and trying the web
interface anyway.  I did this but did not receive any more debugging
info than before.

Thanks
