Hello Rusty,

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sitting at my workstation.  I do have all of those packages
installed on the machine 'dru1a' where I was first trying.

[root@dru1a failsafe]# rpm -i ./IBMJava118-JRE-1.1.8-3.0.i386.rpm 
./sysadm_base-client-1.3.2-6.i386.rpm  ./sysadm_failsafe-client-0.1-4.i386.rpm 
package IBMJava118-JRE-1.1.8-3.0 is already installed
package sysadm_base-client-1.3.2-6 is already installed
package sysadm_failsafe-client-0.1-4 is already installed

I exported my display to my workstation and when I tried to run it I
got the crash.

But you are right. If I install the client software on my workstation
I get this nice GUI and I can connect.

-Eric.
