FreeWNN questions

[Marc Christensen <marc@example.com>]

I have built and installed FreeWnn 1.1.1a17.  However, I cannot seem to
communicate with a running server.  I start jserver and get this output:

  [root@example.com marc]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/jserver start
  Starting jserver services:  jserver
  Nihongo Multi Client Server (4.20)

Then I start kinput2:

LANG=ja_JP XMODIFIERS="@example.com=kinput2" kinput2 -xim -wnn -kinput & 

Once I do that, and start a kterm, all I get when starting Japanese input
(shift-space) is a box that says 'roma' in katakana.  It seems to hang the
kterm and kinput2 session at that point.  

Anyone know of this type of problem?  Is there a way to fix it?

Also, in my /etc/passwd file I created the wnn account entry:

  wnn:x:502:100:wnn:/dev/null:/bin/false

For more security, I set the home dir to /dev/null and the shell to
/bin/false.  However, I noticed that at www.freewnn.org/install.html the
wnn account has an entry like this:

  wnn:*:127:0::0:0:I am Wnn:/root:/bin/csh

Could this be causing my problems?  Does FreeWnn need csh as it's shell
and does it need a home directory?

Thanks.
