I have XFCE4 on two machines, on one machine I suddenly can't use imaps, send
mail on port 25, use jabber and some other ports. This only happens in XFCE4
logged in a regular user, it will work as root. I can reach these ports from
the console as a regular user, I can reach this ports if using any other window
manager than XFCE4. I have tryed every single terminal program within XFCE4 and
it will not work. I removed iptables and all my rules, so its not my firewall
(standalone machine on public ip). If I telnet to these ports while using
xfce4 I get connection refused, also I sniffed the connection with tcpdump and
ethereal and can see that no packets ever make it to eth0. I am completely
baffled by this. I assume some permission has changed somewhere but is does not
explain why some ports are accessable ( like ssh, dns etc). Thanks in Advance
Peter
