there is nothing in the messages file after the above "SVDRP listening to 
port2001"

i tried 127.0.0.1 and 172.16.4.4 (the real ip-adress) , the same result. 
i checked even with netstat -a and there is nothing listening on port 2001.

first i thought about kernel issues (gentoo includes several pathes, e.g. 
grsecurity). Therefore i tried it with a redhat based kernel. same result. 
Should i try it with unpatched kernel?

Ciao,
