[freeside] Signup Client

[Shivkumar]

hi,
I am still convinced that it is an SSH connectivity issue and not a 
Storable error. I used to get the same error when I was trying to setup 
my signup server.
are you able to login as the freeside user from the freesisde machine to 
the signup machine?
eg
# su - freeside
$ ssh 192.168.0.10
assuming 192.168.0.10 is your signup machine
I discovered that in Solaris (my case), one had to change the entry in 
/etc/shadow from *LK* to something like *NP* to allow logins from users 
other than root.

Regards,

Shivkumar
