Description Fernando Herrera 2006-01-19 13:20:34 UTC 
Festival release 1.95 with default configuration doesn't allow network connections from localhost.
This is blocking gnome-speech to work and makes a11y completely unusable for blind people using gnopernicus.

So I think this bug is a blocker for FC5

We got tons of bugs in gnome-accesibility-list about this.

Posible fixes are:
a) Upgrade to 1.96 test release which has the bug fixed
b) Add to .spec file the patch in [2] (already on festival CVS) for always trust 127.0.0.1 connections
c) patch /usr/share/festival/siteinit.scm

Wops, sorry a lot about the FC5 reference :), I meant SuSE 10/10.1
I was submiting this bug to both Fedora/SuSE because we are getting these reports mainly from Fedora/SuSE the distros that ship this "broken" festival version.
