Re: using conserver to link vmware virtual machines to Raritan console servers

Here you go:


console openbsd-firewall {
        type uds;
        uds /usr/local/share/conserver/openbsd-firewall;
}

console openbsd-client {
        type uds;
        uds /usr/local/share/conserver/openbsd-client;
}

....


And apparently my comment below where I said "this should match the  
'file' setting for the console in conserver" was wrong.  It should  
match the "uds" setting.
