Only got a few replies, several of which mentioned permissions on files in
/etc. It turns out that the problem was in the order of lines in
/etc/rc.config. This particular box has multiple IPs/hostnames and the
remote site was seeing the incorrect hostname and rejecting the connection.

> We recently upgraded one of our Alphas to Tru64 version 5.1B. Since then I

> but there are no restrictions in the access control for this box and it
> _does_ work across the firewall for other Alpha boxes. The machine in
> question will respond if the command is executed on another machine on the
