Oh, everything worked correctly, eventually. It was just
that the "simple" UNIX install wasn't as simple as I hoped
(perhaps naively) it would be. I don't remember anything
specific, just the usual bunch of little problems that
annoy you to death when you are in a bit of a hurry and
don't have hours and hours to research all the UNIX installation
newsgroups. :-)
Cheers,
David

I often do have the trouble that a windows license is nodelocked and
does not need a license server running, while when you change a windows
license to a linux license (for a new box) you have to use that license
server lmgrd. (Don't ask why we didn't get a windows like license for
linux automagicly)
Installing the license server start up script is mostly going wrong,
because they don't check which kind of linux distribution you have and
just do copy a file sys5_idl_lmgrd to a location where the directory
doesn't exists. So it becomes the directory name. And mostly it is wrong
configured so its start as one of the first processes before the network
card is initiliased.
May be these lines added do help solving that starting trouble
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: sys5_idl_lmgrd
# Required-Start: $local_fs $named $syslog $time $remote_fs
# Should-Start: coldplug pcmcia
# Required-Stop:
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop:
# Description: starts the idl license manager
### END INIT INFO
