Good morning.

fam doesn't work on my Gnome-installation, too. Since fam was
introduced, it does not work. And I compiled in the fam-support!
I made several tests and looked in the console output what errors came
up, I corrected the source of error but nothing helped.
One error was, that a folder called "Template" is missing. I created it,
it doesn't help.
I also try to start it with a startup-script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
Suddenly it worked for only one user. After an other user has logged in,
fam doesn't work again.
So I gave up using fam.

I followed the instructions I found with google. No success.
I posted this problem in several newsgroups and boards. I didn't get any
answer.
Now I'm using "Ctrl+R" in Nautilus to see the new files. Not very
user-friendly.
If someone can tell what communication-parameters nautilus and fam are
using, then I will write  my own "fam" that will not need inetd.

Best regards.
