Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I set it up a bit hacky
way....  not sure if it's picking up the "real" session or not.
However, some of the data spewed to the console includes:

(lt-nautilus:6432): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **:
gnome_vfs_inet_connection_create ("192.168.2.100", 0) = "Generic error"

(lt-nautilus:6417): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **:
gnome_vfs_inet_connection_create ("192.168.2.100", 0) = "Generic error"

Also there were 'cannot load module
/usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libsftp.so' when running nautilus
sftp://user server (the file is indeed not there.... libftp is however).
When running './nautilus ftp://user ip' I get

(lt-nautilus:6839): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **:
gnome_vfs_inet_connection_create ("192.168.2.4", 0) = "Generic error"


Not sure if that helps at all.  The CVS nautilus didn't give me problems
trying to log in to ssh sites however, while the 2.6.0 did.

These errors maybe because I'm not running a fully CVS gnome install,
only running a CVS nautilus out of a test directory.  Whats the
recommended way to install for cvs testing?  jhbuild? garnome?  by hand?
