Then all you need to do to run a relay is configure one via the Vidalia "Setup Relaying" button in the Vidalia Control Panel. Tor will generally figure out the rest. If your router supports upnp, Vidalia will attempt to configure any port forwarding for you. If not, then yes, you need to port forward your orport and dirport from the external router to your machine. If for some reason you use the osx firewall, you'll also need to open the tcp ports for the orport and dirport. If you are using 10.5 (leopard), when you configure a relay through vidalia, the system should ask you to allow or deny the correct ports. The easiest next step may be to start with a fresh torrc and let Vidalia do the work of configuring the relay. -- Andrew
