I can now telnet OK, to both 127.0.0.1 ... and localhost.. like it worked at first... all work OK(1): BUT, I can not telnet to policyd on 10031, getting same 'telnet gets tied up, can't quit till process killed': # telnet localhost 10031 Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.
