Of course most of these are only of concern if you do agressive egress filtering. For your in-house server, presumably behind a firewall, it becomes sort of self defeating to filter at that level. Personally, I don't even run IPTables on my Myth Boxes because nothing gets through my seperate firewall, and I don't have the bandwidth to push live tv out of my box over my internet connection. -- ----------JSA--------- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
