It appears I do too, using that test: [root@gene /]# rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/BitTorrent/track.py BitTorrent-4.0.1-1 Is there some env var I have to set to make sure it looks in the python-2.3 subdir instead of python-2.2, python-2.1, or even python-1.5. All 5 are present on that RH7.3 system. I just did an strace on the bttrack.py, and its looking in the python-1.5 tree, failing that and giving up. In the FWIW category, in the above path for /usr/lib/python-2.3/site-packages, BitTorrent is the only package installed there. Call me puzzled. That system was maintained by up2date until the service was discontinued. From the clues, it would seem that I need to go get python-2.3 and install it. But the local copy of yum cannot find any python. Can you suggest a repo path to add to yum.conf for an old RH7.3 system? >Well, I think if you want to serve files then you need a tracker, so > you should to open the port 6969 on the iptables and on the modem. > Otherwise, if you want to share with others a file you're > downloading by BT from someone, then you should open the port's > range 6881 to 6999 (or less) on the iptables and on the modem. > >IHTH again, >Vinicius. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
