Has anyone used Synergy on OS X?

I want it so that I can easily control my server box which has the keyboard stacked out of the way behind the monitor. I was using Synergy with Vista but am having some issues getting it working on OS X.

With the -f switch on the command line, it works perfectly...

Code:

./synergys -f --config synergy.conf

I can see it running with a ps -eaf, no problems and the two systems work.

But as soon as I try it without the -f, I get returned to the prompt but when I check, it's not running. According to the documentation the -f forces it to run in foreground and removing it should allow it to run in the background.

Any ideas?
