Hello,
to suppress output on console, you can redirect startup command output
to /dev/null. But I think, that this is no longer a case in new version.
I don't understand a note about iptables. If you had this port disabled
and you enabled it and it works, it;s ok. Of course the port is
configurable in /etc/fred/webadmin_cfg.py

Jaromir

  Great, improving, but I now have the following error
from fred-client, how do I connect
 to the servers?
 [root@ngoli paulos]# /usr/bin/fred-client
  FredClient 1.6.1
 Type "help", "license" or "credits" for more information.
 Using configuration from /etc/fred/fred-client.conf
 Connecting to localhost, port 700 ...
 ERROR: Server returned an empty message.
 Server didn't return Greeting message. Contact server administrator. 
 And when I go the website 
http://ngoli.registrar.mw:18456, I get this output below on my
 console - how do I suppress it?
 I had to open port 18456 in iptables, should I disable iptables as well?
 Regards, Paulos

  I guess I know. Problem could be SELinux. I
always turn it off because
 it is a little bit complicated to run all this stuff in SELinux. If
 SELinux is enabled you have to allow apache to bind to this port by some
 special commands.
 About half a year ago I made this attempt and these are some commands,
 that may help:
 semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 43
 semanage port -a -t http_port_t -p tcp 700
 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1
 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty=1
 restorecon -R -v /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf
 But I think that this is not enough (maybe some other commands are
 needed), and finally I decided to disable SELinux at all. This is done
 in /etc/sysconfig/selinux where you must set SELINUX=disabled and
 restart linux.
 Hope this will help.
 Regards,
 Jaromir
