First, let me thank you for producing a great product.

I implemented it on a Windows box without problems, but when I try to get it going on a Linux box I get the following:

ERROR: failed to initialize client/server-pair (NO Error)

I've gone so far as to look through the fw1-loggrabber.c code. If I could make a suggestion: starting at around line 758 you inialize the opsec-client and then the opsec-server and then check to see if either of those initializations failed. I would recommend adding a check immediatly after the call to initialize the client.

I think that in my case the client initialization is failing and the server initialization is OK, but I do not know why.

Thanks,
