The problem i'm having is that whenever I try to wget, ftp out, or pretty much create a client socket, it refuses to create with error "Cannot assign requested address" with the remote address. I can't do anything but run ircd, no outbound connections are possible. I think I may have inadvertently enabled the socket restriction! How do I go back?

Recompile your kernel without the socket restrictions (they're in the network restrictions section of the grsec config).

Excuse me, wouldn't

Code: Select all

sysctl -w kernel/grsecurity/socket_client=0


do the job (assuming that sysctl support is enabled)?

That would work if they enabled the sysctl option and haven't locked the settings.
