That's interesting. I imagined it was an issue like ftp where you open up a port and let the remove contact you. >If it didn't, you'd be SOL, since > the iptables folks have a policy of not supporting/building/including > in the kernel modules for protocols that do not have at least one Free > server and one Free client. I can appreciate that. RealAudio is in such wide spread use it's kind of hard to ignore, though. When I mentioned to my friend that he may not have RealAudio he said that was unacceptable. Luckily it did work and now he has a Debian machine. Funny in my research how I saw all these posts about RealAudio not being supported in iptables, and a few posts saying the realaudio module was not complete yet, but now posts about the actual module. Have to take things with a grain of salt, I suppose. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
