Re: Blocked high ports
Have you checked to make sure that inetd is running? After an upgrade, be sure
to reboot to make sure that library differences have taken effect, and to make
sure the system is in sync. I have found that in too many cases, things LOOK
fine after an upgrade, but until that final reboot, it won't be fully cut-over
to the new version.
