No password is required for the broadcasting. You only need to be
root. I'm going to try to guess your problem. You downloaded and
compiled fl_tt but did not run #make install. Hence, the
HOST_INFO_FILE is not copied to the correct place. Try running #make
install and see if that solves the problem. BTW if you install fl_tt
with yum, HOST_INFO_FILE gets copied to /etc/fl_teachertool/. If you
install from my source tarball HOST_INFO_FILE gets copied to
/usr/local/etc/fl_teachertool
Let me know if this solves the problem.

Well Robert, I tried everything.  It all seems intact and I'm pretty sure that the problem is with vncreflector.
I've uninstalled everything using yum erase (vnc, vncreflector, fl_teachertool, vnc-ltsp-config, etc) and then did a yum install for everything that I uninstalled.  I also recompliled the sorce for v.32 and now have both v.21 and .32 on the system.  The
HOST_INFO_FILE is present and permissions are properly set.  I get the same errors in the log.  If I run vncserver -v 6 HOST_INFO_FILE, I get the following in the reflector.log file:

It would seem that there needs to be some authentication of some sort for vncreflector .
