use 'netstat --listening' while the program is running, and see if it lists
a program doing the listening. Do it while its not running, and see if it
DOESN'T list it listening.
My program shows
[root@CIO-QMAIL1 /root]# netstat --listening
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN
BTW: Does your cdb file completely deny access to anything?
