Fedora and socket binding

[dmorin at lear.morinfamily.com (Duane Morin)]

Found it.  Used redcarpet to search for packages related to firewall and 
discovered redhat-config-securitylevel, which I'd forgotten all about.  I 
don't know what it sits on top of (iptables, probably) but I ran it and 
sure enough "enable firewall" was checked, with no trusted services.  
turned that firewall off, and now all is better.

Thanks!
