Hi Eric,

The port 4000/TDS 5.0 thing are the defaults if nothing is overridden on 
the ./configure line, so that's why they are doing what they're doing.

Now the question is why isn't the global section being read?

If you do the following:

export CFLAGS=-DDEBUG_CONFIG
./configure --with-whateveroptionsyounormallyuse
make
make install

and then test you should get a file named /tmp/tdsconfig.log that will 
trace the pre-connection calls.  There was one merge from the openlink 
folks recently which is to look for an environment variable "FREETDSCONF" 
but that is called after the build-time conf file.
