Hi all, I'm quite attonished by this problem. I've got two Linux server on two different networks, connected thru a vpn tunnel (made by hardware). Until yesterday everything was working fine, today there's a strange behaviour. If i conenct (telnet,ssh) from server A to B, then I can execute each application. If I telnet from B to A I cannot either do ls. I mean, the command is parsed, then no output is presented and the cursor remains waiting, without presenting the command prompt. After a while I found that the problem was related to use of colors in ls, and in fact removing the colors (my ls was aliased as ls='ls --color=tty') I was able to do ls and to see the normal behaviour. But I'm unable to execute any other program, either ncurses based ones, either emacs, either 'env'. I've tried to change the TERM variable (that on both hosts is set to xterm), trying vt100, but I cannot get the system working. I've trying to connect to A and B separately from another network, and both work. Thus the problem seems to be between A and B, or better between the A network and the B network. Of course, nothing changed since yesterday, and I'm sure of that! I've tried to reset routers and vpn appliances, and I've checked that there's not a firewall that blocks connections (and in fact all protocols seem to work, and speed is good as usual). Where should I look for?
