Hello, I''m using xen-unstable from 28th March, running on top of a Centos 4.3 system. All seems to work well except for one strange networking error. In my DomUs, all of my networking works except for sftp. I can wget http://www.google.com and get an HTML page back. I can ping, and I can ssh to any host I like. But if I try and sftp to any host, I get an error: socketpair: Address family not supported by protocol This seems strange to me because I thought sftp was using the same protocols as ssh, so I can''t see why one works and one doesn''t. There''s nothing in the logs. The only clue I get is sometimes when booting the DomU I get the same" Address family not supported by protocol" error when the interfaces are being brought up. Any pointers as to where to look appreciated, Thanks Marcus _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Could point to a missing kernel interface. Havard _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

In case it''s useful for someone else, my biggest clue came from syslogd not starting either - it turns out I''d compiled unix sockets as a module, and not included it in the DomU''s files. Adding the proper module in solved the problem. Thanks Marcus _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
