Listing files hang on Redhat over VPN


Hello Linux Community,

I have a newly built Redhat 5.5 box. When connecting over VPN and executing either "ls -al" or "df -h", the command prompt hangs without returning any output.

Have got same result with TeraTerm and Putty clients. However, other commands run fine. Also,local users are able to run "ls -al" or "df -h" successfully.


Storage is local disk. Any idea what could be mis-configured.

Asaf

Greetingz!

It's possible you have an NFS mount somewhere on that box from a server that is no longer serving it, or it's down.
Check your syslog logs (probably /var/log/messages) and the output from "mount".

I know it sounds weird, but I've seen an NFS mount that's in a completly different spot cause hangs just like that.
If you have a home directory server (or several), you might want to check on your /etc/auto* files, too.
