ok. here's more on the scoop. root can successfully ssh out. reason?
it calls bind() on a socket < 1023. a normal user can't and ssh fails.

here's snippet from proftpd. an irc client also returns permission denied.

[pid 28138] socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP) = 4
[pid 28138] setsockopt(4, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, [1], 4) = 0
[pid 28138] bind(4, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0),
sin_addr=inet_addr("207.213.0.47")}, 16) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)
