Hello all,
just for the record, the problem is solved. The cause of the problem was
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0i, which was installed on the server: it
was not sufficient to disable the "System scan" option - we had to
completely uninstall it. A wise sys admin informed me that VirusScan
installs a network driver that, no matter the user preferences and
enabled/disabled status, blocks network traffic and file access it
considers suspicious.
Cheers!
