Socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied') errors

[Drew M. <dr...@th...>]

Hi all

Just installed Pyzor and have stumbled over this problem that I hope  
some one can help with.

It all installed nicely but it just won't run. Pyzor discover works  
fine but if i run pyzor ping I get:

# pyzor -d ping
sending: 'User: anonymous\nTime: 1127684961\nSig:  
a8b2e41ed95b1ccd8678a9e2598ff6b06d80639e\n\nOp: ping\nThread: 42906 
\nPV: 2.0\n\n'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/local/bin/pyzor", line 4, in ?
     pyzor.client.run()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 934, in run
     ExecCall().run()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 188, in run
     if not apply(dispatch, (self, args)):
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 219, in ping
     runner.run(server, (server,))
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 725, in run
     response = apply(self.routine, varargs, kwargs)
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 38, in ping
     self.send(msg, address)
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyzor/client.py",  
line 77, in send
     self.socket.sendto(mac_msg_str, 0, address)
socket.error: (13, 'Permission denied')

Now clearly the last line is significant. I have run this as root so  
it's not (Or shouldn't be) a permissions problem with files or  
directories and as root I shouldn't have issues with binding to low  
numbered ports, which was one suggestion from Google.

Any ideas any one?

For the record:

FreeBSD 5.4 with python 2.4 and the latest pyzor all installed from  
ports.

TIA

Drew
