Brian,

The platform is Slackware Linux (Intel).  I know that the server is running
at least NT4.0 SP5, but I don't think I would bet on it being any more
current than that.  The MSSQL is version 6.5.

I just build SQSH, and it did build correctly against the libraries (with a
little help from the FAQ page), but I don't know that I am using it
correctly.  The command line that I am using is: sqsh -D DBName -S
ServerName (from the interfaces file) -U UserName

SQSH responds with the standard banner and a password prompt.  I enter my
password, and the program shuts down without reporting any error or
otherwise status information.  Am I going about this incorrectly for
interactive mode?  SQSH may be seeing the same problem as the test programs,
but without further confirmation I would hesitate to make that assumption.

I don't particularly want to give up on FreeTDS for this project (time not
being an issue), but that this point I am starting to wonder if I shouldn't
backtrack and look at using an ODBC for the database connectivity.  Am I
just beating a dead horse here, or do you think that this is something that
is potentially resolvable if we keep working at it?

Sincerely,
John DeJournett

                Ok, looks exactly like a bad username/password pair...Out of
curiousity
                which platform is this on (Linux Intel?).  Also what service
pack are you
                running on the server side?  And...have attempted to compile
SQSH to see
                if that works?

                This is certainly a good one.

                Brian
