randconfig qa on x86.git ran into the following new networking related problem on latest -git: with the attached .config the testbox comes up but cannot establish any TCP connections due to -ENOPROTO in sys_connect(). The error comes from this condition in inet_stream_connect(): /* Connection was closed by RST, timeout, ICMP error * or another process disconnected us. */ if (sk->sk_state == TCP_CLOSE) goto sock_error; ICMP pings do work to the machine. Netfilter is on in the .config, maybe some new option prevents TCP connections from being established? CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK and CONFIG_SECURITY_SMACK is enabled as well. (but that shouldnt throw a no-protocol error) Ingo
