Hi Guys,

On our main server we are also having this issue. Our network setup is
using some ipip tunnels and the issue described happens only from the
master when talking to a computer on the other end of a tunnel.

[root_at_vsm root]# uname -a
Linux vsm.syc.net.au 2.4.23-vs1.21 #2 Fri Dec 12 13:11:45 CST 2003 i686
unknown

Haven't checked access from the console to test the chbind/v_sshd theory
mentioned.

> cat /proc/self/status could aid here, as

I have tried ssh, traceroute and others and within the strace it is always
returning Invalid argument on the connect() call. I can provide any
information requested that may help. :-)

Thanks,
