I set:
$Conf{ServerHost} = 'nslu2';
$Conf{ServerPort} = 2359;
$Conf{ServerMesgSecret} = '<a string containing 19 ascii-characters>';
# 'nslu2' is the device's hostname, also contained in /etc/hosts

and restarted the BackupPC daemon.

Unfortunately,
/usr/local/BackupPC/bin/BackupPC_serverMesg status info
shows the same result, hanging at the same line as before.

Strangely, 'netstat' shows me:
Proto RefCnt Flags       Type       State         I-Node Path
unix  4      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTING         0 
/mnt/usbstick/var/log/BackupPC/BackupPC.sock
unix  3      [ ]         STREAM     CONNECTED      21002

so it seems that BackupPC still uses unix sockets.

Do I have to do anything else to activate tcp connections?

Thanks in advance,
Christoph
