Dan, I´m convinced there is a problem with 0.3.0 repeater itself(as far as centos 5 goes) I tried 0.2.11 repeater with 0.3.0 d-rats comms and no problem; http://vk4tux.no-ip.org/0.3.0_d-rats_on_0.2.11%20repeater.jpg also when 0.3.0 repeater is tested and turned on, no verbose shows for the ratflector connection, besides the localhost conn problem. vk4tux
