I'm using PuTTY to connect to my linux server, so I'm not sure how to
execute that command. Are you expecting me to try that on the server itself?
There shouldn't be any firewalls, since I'm connecting to it directly over
the LAN. I'll play with this a little more and see if I can't get it working
with the new information you guys gave. Thank you.
