The freebsd4 binary works for me ( I only need raid status info ).

zaphod# ./amrcontrol status 0

#######################################################
###   LSI MEGARAID LOGICAL DRIVE INFORMATION    ###
#######################################################

##Logical drives 0
RAID= RAID5
Status= OPTIMAL
Rebuild Rate= 30


or with a wrapper:

zaphod# telnet 127.0.0.1 666
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Status= OPTIMAL
Connection closed by foreign host.
