   Configuring GoldEd+ Linux

   Howdy Eric.

   Do you store your golded configuration in a different location than the   
   directory you execute it from?   
      
   I have the golded binaries in my search path and my environment setup as such:   
      
   export PATH=$PATH:/opt/fido/bin   
   export FIDOCONFIG=/opt/ftn/fido/husky/husky.conf   
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/fido/lib"   
   export GED=/opt/fido/etc/golded   
   alias vi=vim   
   alias ged=gedlnx   
      
   This configuration is stored in .profile which is executed when I change   
   identity to the fido user (su - fido).  I cannot run any aspect of my node as   
   any other user (this prevents screwing up permissions) because the binaries   
   are not in PATH.   
      
   Most paths defined in golded.cfg are relative.  So I assume that the   
   environment variable GED has precedence when absolute paths are not   
   explicitied defined in config.

   I would turn on logging for golded to see if it capture more specifically any   
   misconfiguration.  It has been a while but I do recall testing earlier   
   versions with SMB.  It worked.  Have you tried to statically define an ara   
   using AREADEF?

   I use husky with JMB.  Both are working here for me.   
      
   Take care,   
      
   Matt
