linux sgd plugin fails to install
Having consistent problems getting the linux plugin to install from the sgd server. The .tarantella directory is created, but the ttatcc binary is not installed. I can install the ttawebtop, but this does not provide the desired functionality with the Firefox and Mozilla browsers. My linux users are on FC 5, SuSE 10 and SuSE 10.1. Jave 1.5 is installed on all Linux clients. There are no issues with the windoze plugins.

I've found this same behavior. I've managed to track the helper install problem down to a difference in the syntax of "tail" between FC4 and FC5.
The helper downloads itself as a shell script and then tries to execute itself. The script tries to use "tail +13" to skip the beginning text, but tail no longer supports this syntax on FC5. The correct syntax is now "tail -n +13". I'm not sure if this change was intentional or not.
I've managed to tweak around and force the helper app to install, but even then it doesn't work properly. The window that comes up to enter username/password won't accept any keyboard input, so we appear to have two problems at work here.
