[CLUE-Tech] ktelnet

[Charlie Oriez]

I'm running ktelnet v0.7b1 (KDE 2.1.1) which I got with Mandrake v8.0
when I enter ktelnet from the console command line I get 

[root at localhost /root]# ktelnet
Xlib:  extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0".

I get the GUI, but when I click on connect I get:
Unknown child process xxxx died 

(with xxxx varying, of course)

When I try to enter from the kde desktop via networking/remote access 
I get another dead child process without the added info 
from console window.  Nothing in syslog or messages.  

My ktelnet.sessions file has
logfile=ktelnet.log

I get an error message that the log appears to be executable, 
although I have it set to user writable/world readable but not 
executable.  It resides in my root directory, which is my PWD when I 
am trying to execute this.  If I remove the logfile entry I dont get 
the alert message about it being executable, but get no further in 
actually executing telnet.

Ideas?
