Yes.  It seems you don't have cannakill.  'bash' (bourne again shell) is
the name of your commandline interpreter, comparable to command.com in DOS,
but much more powerful.

It also looks like either your cannaserver behaves differently than mine
or you mistyped the command.  It shouldn't print usage info.
Hmm.  Your SuSE may use a version of canna quite different from the one
in Debian.  Please use "rpm -q -a | grep canna", this should print all
packet names (including the version) matching 'canna' from the rpm packet
database.  It should look like canna-3.7-4 or cannaserver-3.7-4 or
similar.  In this example 3.7 would be the software version and 4 is the
revision of the package.  (Incidentally this is the version of canna I
am using)
You are using SuSE 9.0, right?

Hmm, can't say anything about that.

No, this is purely a (quite weird) software problem.
