I did a "src_vipa.sh ftp xxxxx" and checked the inbound address on the xxxxx machine. So it seemed to work. Wanted to make things system-wide so I didn't have to depend on the src_vipa.sh script. Had this line in ld.so.preload: /usr/lib/src_vipa.so If I do something like: "src_vipa.sh ls" I have the same problem. Session seems to be locked--I'd have expected a directory listing even if it didn't send anything out. ^C would get me out. > > I can think of two possibilities for the problem you're seeing: > > 1.
