timeseal 164.58.253.13 5000
Fingering my account shows that timeseal is on.
However, when I log on through xboard using the command:
xboard -ics -icshost 164.58.253.13 -telnetProgram timeseal
Fingering my account shows that timeseal is still off.
Using the suggested command:
xboard -ics -icshost 164.58.253.13 -telnet -telnetProgram timeseal
Results in garbled commands at FICS.
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong. Or is this what was meant by
timeseal not working through telnet?

If at first you don't succeed, redefine success
Several people have reported problems with xboard's use of ptys on SGI
machines. By default they are used with the method of invoking
timeseal you tried. I think you can get around the problem by
rebuilding xboard using the following commands:
rm *.o
rm config.cache
./configure --disable-ptys
make
Then run xboard with the suggested command:
xboard -ics -icshost 164.58.253.13 -telnet -telnetProgram timeseal
Do not omit the -telnet option. It turns on the use of the external
"telnetProgram" timeseal; without it, the -telnetProgram option does
nothing.
I also suggest getting the current version of xboard, 3.5.0. You can
get it from my Web page below. The page (and the 3.5.0 distribution)
also include an updated FAQ that includes the above suggestion.

Thanks. Downloaded the new version of xboard, recompiled it as
described above, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks again...
