[Dxspider-support] Port 27554 issues

[Hans-Juergen Barthen]

Hi!
Hopefully somebody can give me just a quick help on an issue with port
27554.
I am running DXSpider on Linux at DB0LJ for a lot of years, so hopefully I
have some experience with it.
But at the moment I seem to be blind.
Since a few days it is not possibly to connect the cluster from ax25.
A manual connect using the client brings up "error on connect to localhost
port 27554 (111)".
Everything else works, Internet access, outgoing traffic in ax25, all fine.

Even that I did not change anything on the ipchains-setup I tried it with
ipchains switched off, no change!
... it was just because I did not know anything else anymore, a connect to
localhost should not be blocked.

Manual start of cluster.pl does not show any "helpfull error message" :-)
(see startup log at the end)

I suggest -  but I am really not sure - this happens since my update from
1.54 to 1.55 abt. 3 weeks ago.

Any helpfull idea how to fix that?
I am using perl 5.8.8, openSuse10, kernel 2.6.27-6.

Thanks!

Hans, DL5DI
