All,

I am trying to connect to a MS SQL server from a machine running Ubuntu
10.10 using freeTDS.  The tsql connection works using freetds.conf, but
when I try to use osql it does not connect, giving the error: osql:
error: no potential directory strings in "/usr/bin/isql"
isql strings are:
+ /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. 

Here is my output.  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide
me!


bosr@bosr-linux:/usr/bin$ strace -e connect osql -S XF -U xfl -P xfl
