--- Comment #4 from Jilles Tjoelker <jilles@FreeBSD.org> ---
This is useful but I think it is still a bit too vague. The [EACCES] error
occurs only when the connection is denied by a "sufficiently local" firewall
(ipfw(4)/ipf(4)/pf(4) or custom pfil(9) user). A firewall behind a network =
can
cause various other errors but not [EACCES]. I wonder what the best way to
formulate this is.

Sorry for not mentioning this earlier.
