Hello!

I'm pretty sure that I'm running into a security blockade.  I have 
several small example sockets programs which have compiled and worked in 
the past on other platforms.  However, they are not working under SL 
6.3, even when I change ports multiple times.

I have:

   * disabled SELINUX  (I first tried setenforce 0 as root to make it 
simply permissive, but no luck, so I disabled it instead)
   * turned iptables off:  /etc/init.d/iptables stop

Still, after having done both of these, I can't get a simple socket and 
client example to work.  The /var/log/messages file simply shows my 
shutting off of iptables.

Is there another thing that I can do to get some simple sockets examples 
to work?   I figure once I have located the problems, I can begin to 
attack the rules needed to get it to work.

Regards, and thank you,
Chip Campbell
