Wait, using IPChains I would do the following.. ipchains -A input -j ACCEPT -i eth0 (ExtIF) -p tcp -s $UNIVERSE -d xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz 26 ipchains -A output -j ACCEPT -i eth0 -p tcp -s xyz.xyz.xyz.xyz 26 -d $UNIVERSE So that will allow traffic in. But that won't open a port. OR do I need to?? I would prefer to use TCP Server, but I would be willing to use inetd.. Any ideas Thanks -- Steven M.
