I feel like I've tried the works on something that should be obvious
but I'm stuck. Package snowfall used to run just great under debian
etch (amd-64, 2x quad-core). After upgrading to lenny (debian 5,
reinstalled from scratch), I haven't been able to get snowfall running
again. Password-less ssh works fine to localhost, its IP, or zero-
config name. But when calling sfInit I invariably get this error
message below. What puzzles me is that "ssh localhost" works without a
hitch but the socket connection fails. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated.
Best,
Martin

I've tried this with the stable debian version of R (2.7.1) as well as
compiled from R-2.8.1 (with current snowfall) and the latest from sid
(see below).
