[ARGUS] argus5 radium and FreeBSD 13

Hey Mike,
Sorry for the delayed response …
Looks normal (except for all the missing libraries and files).  You connect to the remote argus source, send a START record, and you read the remote's Init Argus Record.
But you then don’t seem to do anything.

Is it possible that you are using argus v3 radium, but trying to read argus v5 data ?
They are incompatible, and the local client will drop the connection.

I would run the local radium with "-D 6” option … if compiled with the debug option,  it should say a few things about what it gets from the remote radium.
If, other the other hand, it’s the case where you are expecting v5 records but getting v3, there is an option in the radium.conf file that you may want to change.

But when I get radium to try and attach from another host, nothing gets written on the radium side of things.  I can see the argus5 sensor sending data to the remote host.  From the truss output, it seems to be some threading issue (thread 618765 exited)?
