That is true, my router ony allow port 22 (ssh) for remote access, but I'm testing from the same subnet within the firewall. I did this massive upgrade/update using aptitude (I guess, something went funny during initial install). Still can't telnet to port 25, though I noticed that iptables was installed, which I did remove.... S.O.S
