Hello,

I've installed the astro/setiathome port, but when I run it (using
"rc.d/setiathome.sh register" or just "setiathome -login"), it fails to
work:

It always says "Can't open file temp.sah" and asks again for account
setup. It's not filesystem/rights problem, it does even when run as root.

I don't have a public IP (10.0.0...) and I am connected to internet via
NAT, but I believe it doesn't matter (internet communication works OK, and
setiathome is AFAIK using only http).

I've tried to run strace on it, but it was not very helpful:
...
connect(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80),
sin_addr=inet_addr("66.28.250.122")}}, 16) = 0
close(4)                                = 0
write(1, "Can\'t open file temp.sah\n", 25Can't open file temp.sah
) = 25
write(1, "If you need help or have questio"..., 96If you need help or have

My system is 4.7-STABLE, few weeks old.

Thanks
