Now what the..? _X11TransSocketINETConnect()

Suddenly, without warning, I cannot run guarddog. I have by now downloaded 
rpm's installed, compiled, everything from 2.4.0 to what have you without 
result. Wherever I search on the internet nothing can be found that will lead 
me to the solution of this horrible error.

What did exist (or run...) before that doesn't run now? Some talk about things 
absent in the /tmp directory, others about not being able to resolve 
localhost (which is bound to 127.0.0.1).

well if doing:

fuser -v -n tcp 6000

reveals nada enchiladas which of course is good and suspicious in whatever way 
you would like to look upon it. What should be listening on port 6000? I 
thought most X servers where configured to NOT listen to port 6000 by 
default, so what is guarddog doing with this port?

Beyond that 
DISPLAY=:0.0

Please help me, as i have a hard time living without this excellent firewall 
configurator.

cheers
