Anybody know when a port of fl_teachertool to K12Linux is going to be available? I have downloaded fl_teachertool-0.70 and followed 
the manual installation steps at http://www3.telus.net/public/robark/Fl_TeacherTool/installation.html, but still not working.

I get "No users logged in"

If I run netstat -t -e -n, I see that my test TC user is connected at 172.31.100.100:6001 with group 501 and since at line 1845 in 
fl_teachertool.cxx I see

getstdout_ss(outss, "LANG=C netstat -t -e -n|grep :6000| grep ESTABLISHED |sed -e 's/:/ /g'| sed -e 's/ESTABLISHED/ESTABLISHED /' | 
awk '{print $9,$6}'|sort|uniq", "ERROR: netstat failed");

the grep statement will always return an empty set and raise the "No users logged in" error. I tried changing the entry in 
fl_teachertool.cxx to grep :6001, commented out line 1868 that reads

dummy.ip= getstdout("getent hosts | grep -w "+dummy.ip+" | awk '{print $2}' ","Error: getent failed");

and recompiled. This did allow fl_teachertool to see my session, but I could not connect to it.


Anybody have any thoughts about this?
