Description:

When I started synergy using the /etc/rc.d script the server did not accept connections from other computers, even if everything was configured properly. I found that the options used in the script didn't work quite right. As soon as I replaced the line

[ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/bin/synergys --config /etc/synergy.conf --address localhost &> /dev/null

with


[ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/bin/synergys --config /etc/synergy.conf &> /dev/null

everything worked without problems. In general, I found the --address localhost option causes the server not to listen for remote clients (I don't know why).

Additional info:
* package version 1.3.1-7
* my /etc/synergy.conf is attached

Steps to reproduce:

1) Install the synergy package
2) Write the /etc/synergy.conf config file (or use the one above)
3) sudo /etc/rc.d/synergy start
4) On another computer run synergyc -f <hostname>
