How did you determine that it seemed to be working okay? I can think of two possibilities for the problem you're seeing: 1. The system cannot locate src_vipa.so in LIBPATH -- better to specify the full pathname to the preloaded library. Having been caught by something like this before, the only way to fix it (if you've rebooted and can't get a working command prompt) is to boot off an install or rescue system, mount up the disks, and fix the problem. 2. Your system is set up to get auth data from LDAP, and the LDAP server doesn't recognise your system when it uses the VIPA address for commun- ication. (When account data is held in LDAP, your system has to do LDAP lookups to resolve all the UIDs and GIDs in the "ls" output to names...) If this is the case, find out what configuration would be stopping the LDAP server from talking to you. Routing might be a problem here -- can hosts in the network route traffic to your VIPA? Hope this helps...
