in thread Could not create socket: Bad file number

Exactly. Just to emphasize; you (usally) only need the LocalHost argument if you have multiple network connectors on your machine and you only want to listen on one of them.

If you *do* need to do this, it may be easier to specify the IP address instead of the host name, since that may be easier than configuring the right hostname(s) to the right port(s)

    I removed the LocalHost argument -- no change. Are there Unix settings that need to be in place for Socket communications to work properly? i.e. maybe that port is blocked?
