It turns out to be a firewall-type of issue: tcpwrappers seems to be 
involved and as indicated in an earlier message on theis list setting 
ALL:ALL (or ALL:"network addresses") in /etc/hosts.allow seems to make 
things work. Of course this should _not_ be necessary if we would know 
the correct daemon name...

Thanks
