Thanks. I've gotten it to find the file. I got the server running on
linbox "ety", as you can see here:
dotancohen at ety:~$ synergys -f --config synergy.conf
INFO: synergys.cpp,857: Synergy server 1.2.2 on Linux 2.6.12-10-386 #1
Fri Apr 28 13:13:44 UTC 2006 i686

INFO: CServer.cpp,946: screen "ety" shape changed

However ,when I start the winbox, I get this:
connection forcefully rejected

So, I must either be on the wrong port, or have Kubuntu firewalled.
I've no firewall on the linbox, so far as I know. At least, Kubuntu
doesn't come with one and I've never installed one. And in the config
I changed no ports.

How can I check what dameons are listening on what ports? Google just
came up with game ports, and port athorities. Any other ideas?

Thanks, guys.
