Right, the console based interface is very similar to the gui one you
get if you run system-config-securitylevel when in X. What interests me
is the "Other ports" section, which in the graphical version of the tool
is labelled: "Other ports: (1029:tcp)". You can enter in there
"6881:tcp, 6881:udp, 6882:tcp, ..." but I wondered if there was a short
hand for entering ranges.

Thanks. I don't have a problem with editing the configs by hand, but I'd
like to see the system-config-* tools helped along into being able to do
this. Maybe they should just include a "BitTorrent" option in trusted
services.
