Scientific Linux turns on the firewall by default. It lets me scp via
username & passwd but wouldn't allow the port 5432 tcp connection till I
disabled it. I like Scientific because it seems that they are a large
team and as a project seem to have better long term viability than other
RH based projects but a couple of their defaults drive me nuts. Like
this one, and the default install of yum-autoupdate
