The older Bristol service nodes (as inherited from Yves Coppens who built  
them) all have slapd: 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts.allow, including lcgce01 
which used to be lcg-CE + site-bdii but is now only site-bdii. 
And they're all visible from outside.

But SL5 is a different animal apparently. selinux Enforcing won't allow 
bdii to start (at least bdii 3.2.4 & 5), but can be setenforce 1 once it's 
started. And yes it was that slapd line in hosts.allow that apparently 
makes no diff on SL4 but is obeyed in SL5, so change it to slapd: ALL & it 
seems fine. 

Thanks all v much for help+advice.
