Adding the domain name to each of the servers in the -S option didn't
work and the machines were already listed in /etc/hosts. Does it mater
that the client and server are on different networks (i.e.
192.168.168.xxx vs 192.168.180.xxx)? Are there any switches I can
enable that turn on more debug output to help figure out what is going
wrong?
