Package: dictd

The dictionary server no longer accepts client connections, if run as
non-root (even from localhost).
A tail on a system trace reveals:
13478 read(21, "# Internet (IP) protocols\n#\n# Upd"..., 1024) = 1024
13478 close(21) = 0
13478 munmap(0xb5bec000, 4096) = 0
13478 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 21
13478 setsockopt(21, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
13478 bind(21, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(2628),
sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use)
13478 write(2, "dictd (net_open_tcp): "..., 22) = 22
13478 write(2, "Can't bind 2628/tcp to port 2628\n"..., 33) = 33
13478 write(2, "net_open_tcp: Address already in "..., 37) = 37
13478 exit_group(1) = ?
I am not sure whether that is normal behaviour.
netstat -a reveals:
tcp 0 0 *:dict *:* LISTEN
Trying to tie this to a process:
lsof -i :dict
I am not sure why that produces no output. I would expect the pid of the
session being traces to appear there.
Try to connect to that socket (using telnet):
telnet neptune dict
Trying 10.0.0.8...
Connected to neptune.markhobley.yi.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
530 access denied
Connection closed by foreign host.
(Connections from localhost are not allowed either)
