Hi all,
I have a server running 2.6.2-rc1-gentoo, and I was happily installing vpopmail and reading the vpopmail gentoo guide. Somehow (don't ask me why) every net connections seem to stop and get blocked. Now I cannot make any socket connection. For example:
Quote:
$ ping localhost
PING descartes.geniousdomain (127.0.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
ping: sendmsg: Operation not permitted
...


Any ideas on how to unblock the situation?

Cheers,

ping is setuid root

ed@cobain perl $ ls -l `which ping`
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 32560 Oct 30 07:00 /bin/ping

have you tried running ping as root ??? as root try
# chmod 4755 `which ping`

that might fix it

I was running it as root, so I get the same thing.... Any ideas? The situation is that not only ping is being blocked but all socket connections...

hi,

why aren't you a bit more specific in the solution of your problem?

My iptables config was incorrect. I advise you to forget iptables and use shorewall.

Same problem on my Linux box.

I never used iptables - And I don't actually use it.

I can't ping localhost, nor my eth address, nor the router address, nor anything else.

EDIT: And I can't ping my Linux box from here (Winxp pc):
Code:

ping 10.0.0.12

The packets don't came.

Help please!
