starting arrier | CLi on Linux guest

[cooch17]

Simple setup - Windows 10 server, and Linux client (AlmaLinux 9). Running barrier 2.4 on both. Things work fine, if -- but only if -- I (i) start barrier on the client using the GUI, and (ii) only if I uncheck auto-config, and then manually enter the server ip (the name doesn't work alone - must enter the ip).

From the CLi, I've tried the following, but it doesn't seem to be working (basically, I'm trying to avoid having to use the GUI -- I want to be able to simply ssh to the machine and run the following, or version of same that works):

 /usr/bin/barrierc --daemon -n guest.name.here --debug INFO --restart server.ip.here   

Starts fine, and I can see barrierc running as a process, but can't connect to the machine.

Any suggestions, or corrections, would be much appreciated.

For the benefit of anyone else considering this issue - here is what ultimately worked for me (after a bit of trial and error):

/usr/bin/barrierc --daemon --no-tray --disable-crypto --name name.of.client.box --debug INFO --restart ip.address.of.server:24800

I found that it was necessary to turn off crypto, and explcitly specify the port on the server. This is what works on my machine -- your results may differ. But, perhaps a starting point.
