Greetings; Verizon makes life a bitch by violating common carrier rules when the block port 80 to keep their customers from running a web server. But port 85 appears to be an unassigned port, and I have successfully used it to test when selinux, privoxy and squid were not running. Now they are, and an attempted connect to http://gene.homelinux.net:85 now gets a 503 cuz selinux denies it. As saved from setroubleshooter: ================= Summary: SELinux is preventing the privoxy(/usr/sbin/privoxy) (privoxy_t) from connecting to port 85. Detailed Description: SELinux has denied the privoxy(/usr/sbin/privoxy) from connecting to a network port 85 which does not have an SELinux type associated with it. If privoxy(/usr/sbin/privoxy) is supposed to be allowed to connect on this port, you can use the semanage command to add this port to a port type that privoxy_t can connect to. semanage port -L will list all port types. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against the selinux-policy package. If privoxy(/usr/sbin/privoxy) is not supposed to bind to this port, this could signal a intrusion attempt. Allowing Access: If you want to allow privoxy(/usr/sbin/privoxy) to connect to this port semanage port -a -t PORT_TYPE -p PROTOCOL 85 Where PORT_TYPE is a type that privoxy_t can connect.

The above isn't precise enough for me to go stumbling around. 2nd, do these mailing lists echo each other? If so, sorry about hitting both. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
