Some of the machines in my student lab have a problem connecting to 
others. The error messages vary only slightly, depending on which 
program one tries to use. Here's a sample:


ping: sendto: Permission denied
telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.31: Permission denied
ftp: connect: Permission denied

I'm running all these programs as root. ifconfig -a gives output that 
looks good to me: the interface is up and the network and submask 
numbers are correct. All the machines have the same network number. I 
have no idea where the "Permission denied" could be coming from. Can 
somebody give me a clue?

I don't know whether this is something different or another symptom 
of the same problem: dig reports that the connection is refused by 
the nameserver. I don't see anything wrong with resolv.conf.

Thanks

If there is one word to describe me,
that word would have to be "profectionist".
Any form of incompitence is an athema to me.
Metathesis??? Don't ax me.
