Dear Jeffrey, many thanks for your fast response from Germany too!
When issuing "vos listvol <server>" on a patched 1.8.6 client to an 1.6.22.1 <server>, I still get "Could not get the list of partitions from the server. Possible communication failure". The same command works from a client running 1.6.23. I'm still having problems when doing an ssh from a patched 1.8.6 client to a server running an unpatched 1.8.6 and vice versa. The login process hangs during aklog. That means both machines have to run a patched 1.8.6? Thanks and cheers, Ado Neil Brown wrote on 14.01.21 18:19:

Also thanks, to the other members of this list with their efforts in diagnosing the root cause. Hopefully we'll be able to try a patched version tomorrow. Thanks again, Neil
