In nautilus i get the error mentioned in the topic. The .254 host in my local lan and i'm trying to connect from my .2 pc. I tried different addresses known to work but i get the same error : "Error: Error reading from unix: Input/output error
Please select another viewer and try again."

Try from user account, don't you know root is not supposed to do remote connections.

get it.. sorry that ubuntu-story isn't right...

there is another problem

but echo "=net-misc/openssh-5.6_p1-r1" >> /etc/portage/package.mask && emerge -vaDNu world fixed it
seems openssh-5.6 is doing something strange...

That story about root is also an aspect you have to consider..

in my case it wasn't the root user which i used to connect -- but the same error-message

Downgrading to ssh 5.5_p1-r2 solved the problem so I guess it's an ssh problem.

I don't get the root problem though. I can connect as a root and any other user without problems.
