I had the same problem on two machines and asked a question about it on the 31 10 2004 but did not get much of an answer. I think there is something rotten in portmap and abandoned it. Thanks to Jim Barne's patient help I could start 'ssh' and together with 'unison' it is enough for my needs . -- ________________ Paul Ollion Proud Linux user - SuSE - 9.1

Hi, I had the same problem with Suse 9.1 personal and with the pro version on every computer I installed 9.1 on. Since it hung my boot-up for about twenty minutes on my machine hooked up to a lan I only fixed it on that machine. Several other people have asked the same question. I do not know the cause and I searched the archives of this list without success. I fixed it by updating my system via YOU. The problem just went away. I do not know which package fixed it, I did not try to track it down. Gustav Degreef.
