Hi all, I have a server running 2.6.2-rc1, and I was happily installing vpopmail and reading the vpopmail gentoo guide (www.gentoo.org). Somehow (don't ask me why) every net connections seem to stop and get blocked. Now I cannot make any socket connection. For example: # 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, -- Paulo J.
