"Permission denied" seems a bit odd here.  Just as a wild guess: do you
have SELinux running in enforcement mode, and if so, does switching it
to permissive mode make this work?  (See /usr/sbin/getenforce and
setenforce)  Another thing to try is a non-TCP connection, ie, leave out
the hostaddr bit.
