[Ekiga-list] unable to get Ekiga to register with gatekeeper

[Kevin Oberman]

For quite some time I have been unable to use Ekiga on my FreeBSD
platforms because gatekeeper registration fails. I suspect this is an
error in the port to FreeBSD, but I have had a report of a similar
problem on a Linux systems, so it may be in Opal. I am pretty sure that
it is not a gatekeeper issue as this system is in use daily with well
over one hundred users. (It's the H.323 system used by the High Energy
Physics community, among others.)

I'd like a reference to RAS that might provide information on the
protocol so I might be able to figure out the problem. 

Wireshark tells me that the registration request is being rejected:
rejectReason: terminalExcluded (1)
  terminalExcluded: NULL

Here is the complete captured request (with addresses removed):

This looks odd that the ASCII for gatekeeper ID and the H.323 ID strings
are null separated, but I lack any reference to what is expected to
confirm the issue. If I can get confirmation of the problem, I can look
at the Opal sources and try to figure out what is going wrong.

Thanks for any pointers.
