-

You also need to add some others to the group, including your own
callsign (this will be used as an alias) and root. The finished line
alter the text of any section. Some of the lines look a little odd.
Take this line for example ....
+
$myemail = "ianmaude\@btinternet.com";
$ cluster.pl
- DXSpider DX Cluster Version 1.35

If all is well then login on another term or console as _\bs_\by_\bs_\bo_\bp and cd
to /spider/perl. Now issue the following command ...
- $ client.pl

You should now get the login prompt and be able to login as before.
