Connection refused at port 5060

I have set up asterisk successfully on FC8, at least I think. I only need to serve a couple of persons, so all is fairly easy thanks to good cookbooks. However I can’t connect to asterisk. Most likely this is due to bindings and LISTEN mode:

lsof -i:25

COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
sendmail 1800 root 4u IPv4 7355 TCP localhost.localdomain:smtp (LISTEN)
lsof -i:5060
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
asterisk 3100 root 10u IPv4 14892 UDP *:sip

Note the missing ‘LISTEN’, and indeed:

telnet localhost 25

Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 localhost.localdomain ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.2/8.14.1; Tue, 26 Feb 2008 16:17:23 +0100
quit
221 2.0.0 localhost.localdomain closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.

telnet localhost 5060

Trying 127.0.0.1…
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused
Trying ::1…
telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused

In sip.conf I have:
port = 5060
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
…

What do I miss here ? Thanks.

… and I do have the ports opened with service-config-firewall.

iptables -L

I would like to recall this question. I installed zoip, and asterisk is just working effortlessly. The problem is that I have problem to let access a Siemens Gigaset 455IP to asterisk. I’d like to google first to solve this, and if required post a new question.

Note: telnet won’t connect via UDP. it is using TCP.
