Is the firewall on?
If so, it's possible that netfilter is blocking access. Edit
/etc/sysconfig/iptables and add:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp --dport 901 -j ACCEPT
Before the line:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j REJECT --reject-with icmp-host-prohibited
Then edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config and make sure this says yes
instead of no:
IPTABLES_SAVE_ON_RESTART="yes"
Then issue `service iptables restart`
Double check the rule is in place:
iptables -L | grep 901
All of the above should be done as root.
If that ends up working, you might adjust the rule you put in place to
use -s your.local.ip.address so that it's not open to the world.
