If you're on SELinux and you get the problem when running the code from a CGI script, read Re^3: Can't call method... works locally, but not on webserver..

The protocol name is converted to a protocol number using getprotobyname, which serves as an interface to `/etc/protocols`. Maybe it changed? Maybe you're running under `chroot` and there's no `etc/protocols` under your virtual root?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I see getent protocols doesn't have a tcp in it ... It must of before the nis->ldap migration. How can I get it back? It's in /etc/protocols	[reply]
