<div> </div>
<div>This is a known problem with current Linux distributions (Ubuntu and Fedora). It will be fixed the the next Beta release (0.3.3b2) which should be out shortly. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the interum, there is a work-around:</div>
<div>1. Close d-rats.</div>
<div>2. In your home directory, there should be a hidden folder named .d-rats/ (that's [dot]d-rats/).</div>
<div>3. In the .d-rats/ folder, open the file d-rats.config with a text editor. Find the [ports] section.</div>
<div>4. Copy the existing ratflector line and edit it's parameters to add your new port.</div>
<div>5. Save the new d-rats.config file</div>
<div>6. Start d-rats - your new port should be available.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'll post an example of what my [ports] section looks like when I get home this afternoon.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To be fair, this is not really a d-rats problem: The GTK and GLADE utilities d-rats uses to do all of the "windowing" have been changed. Updating Fedora or Ubuntu Linux (or using a fairly new install CD) will break the "Add a Port" function. The Windows version d-rats still uses the older GTK/GLADE utilities, so it hasn't impacted them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Hope this helps get you back online!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>73,</div>
