Hello and welcome to LQ. Hope you like it here.

I'm trying to open Active UNIX domain sockets. Trying to run an icecast server off of it. I got the tcp "Active internet connections" open, just having a bit of trouble with the "Active UNIX domain sockets.
You don't "open" sockets or "bind" to a port: apps do that for you. You just need to run the app.

I don't know if Icecast(2) needs UNIX sockets, if it does make sure you use the right netstat flags. For instance if you use "netstat -pant" the "t" will prohibit displaying UDP and UNIX sockets in use. If you want to see all sockets regardless of protocol try "-pna" and for all listening sockets regardless of protocol use "-pnl".

If it's not that but about say opening up the firewall try asking more specific and detailed questions.

I do not believe iptables even has the capability to filter UNIX domain sockets. If it does, it's most certainly disabled by default since these sockets can only be bound to locally. If you believe you are having connectivity problems with some software, unless there is specifically an error mentioning UNIX domain sockets, it's not a problem with them. It's much more likely that you are having problems accessing a tcp/ip service through NAT, or something along those lines.

Details are your friends.
