Not sure exactly what's going on here either, Horst, but I suggest checking the versions running on those other systems and updating your own version to the latest... might be for kicks but I know there are some serious v1/v2 protocol issues out there in some individual clients/servers... the latest versions should all work nicely together, though. More than once, I had packet filtering going on unbeknownst-to-me that was the culprit of precisely such situations... so I must ask, is the RH box outside your LAN, like I'm assuming efn is??
