The problem turned out to be a misconfiguration on the fileserver. In my haste to solve a previous problem with the terminal (the fileserver refusing connections). I activated the listening process for port 564 by hand (that is renaming /rc/bin/service/!564 to /rc/bin/service/564). That little thing got me all confused because the server after that started responding but the connection was not being authenticated (because fauth on that connection returned -1). So the solution was to rename the ofending file again, and configure fossil to listen on the port itself. Nothing more simple than that, but I can not believe the number of hours I spent trying to figure this one out. Regards, -Leonardo Valencia
