Yes - it is set as follows:

SYBASE
        query tcp ether <IP> 5001
        master tcp ether <IP> 5001

with IP replaced, of course.

Thanks for the tip (I hadn't realized that file existed, but the admin had
it set correctly). Any other ideas? I hate to trouble you with this problem,
but I haven't found a single example of anyone doing what we're trying to do
(and it doesn't seem like it should be _that_ difficult).

Thanks,
Andrew Elliston
