Then, you're not running SELINX (which is good).

The "/server/ip-addr" registry parameter is the IP address of the interface on 
which the LDM server should listen. Consequently, it must be visible to the LDM 
program. The default (and overwhelmingly the most common situation) is to have 
the LDM server listen on all interfaces by setting its value to "0.0.0.0".

Unless you have good reason not to, you should set the IP address of the 
interface to "0.0.0.0".

It wasn't a waste. I learn something new every time. :-)
