Ok, printed that and did it, looks like it should shove it right thru to this box with the iptables rules engaged via the bash script. An iptables --list shows this once the script is run. --- Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpts:6881:6999 and Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6890 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6891 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6892 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6893 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6894 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6895 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6896 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6897 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6898 ACCEPT tcp -- coyote.coyote.den anywhere tcp dpt:6899 ---- neat that it hides the address in favor of the local fqdn of the box, I like that. And I've set port forwarding in the router for 6881-6999, tcp only, per instructions. And I've installed the rpm "BitTorrent-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm" but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of documentation on howto start the tracker, or howto start a download. In fact, everything that I've been able to make run seems to be server related, even the btdownloadgui.py window has no place to enter a url as the starting src. So I'm not much farther ahead than I was 2 hours ago. > > >-- >William Hooper -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
