I ran wireshark to see what was going on, and it turns out that trying to send the smolt profile makes a call out from port 53291 and expects an answer on that port coming back. I think that this must be where the problem is because port 53291 inbound will almost certainly be blocked by our institution firewall. 547 22.798949 mymachine.com admin.fedoraproject.org TCP 53291 > http [SYN] Seq=0 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=76373242 TSER=0 WS=5 549 22.976047 admin.fedoraproject.org mymachine.com TCP http > 53291 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=741376 Len=0 MSS=1380 TSV=637700593 TSER=76373242 WS=7 550 22.976108 mymachine.com admin.fedoraproject.org TCP 53291 > http [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=5856 Len=0 TSV=76373419 TSER=637700593 551 22.976220 mymachine.com admin.fedoraproject.org HTTP GET /token_json?uuid=blahblahblah HTTP/1.1 552 23.152948 admin.fedoraproject.org mymachine.com TCP http > 53291 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=153 Win=6912 Len=0 TSV=637700638 TSER=76373420 688 50.789010 mymachine.com admin.fedoraproject.org TCP 53291 > http [FIN, ACK] Seq=153 Ack=1 Win=5856 Len=0 TSV=76401232 TSER=637700638 689 51.000314 admin.fedoraproject.org mymachine.com TCP http > 53291 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=154 Win=6912 Len=0 TSV=637707601 TSER=76401232 So I guess I am stumped.
