Hello.

Could someone please tell me why I am getting the (error) message

sendto: Operation not permitted

when I run 'mirrorselect'?

Also, 'emerge rsync' does not work.

I suspect this may have something to do with the iptsbles
packet filter that I am using (guarddog).

The only ports that I have made visible to the outside world
are

21 (ftp)
22 (ssh)
80 (http)
443 (https)

Are there any other ports that have to be kept open for mirrorselect
and 'emerge rsync' to work?

Thank you.

rsync uses port 873, so maybe that needs to be open.
