.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|

|
|
If the daemon exits quickly for no apparent reason, check the logfile for
|
||
|
|
possible causes. If the logfile indicates something about bind and the adress
|
||
|
|
being in use, check that no other process is using the TCP port 6881
|
||
|
|
(the default) or the one you specified with the -p option.
