You turn off the firewall during instalation, because you are often using software like apt, yum, up2date, synaptic, etc to resolve dependancies. During operation the open ports will depend on you hardware deployment:
database needs port 3306 for mysql, usually only tcp backend needs port 3306 to get to the database backend needs port 80 to access schedule data, usually only tcp backend *may* need 111 for portmap if /mnt/video is on nfs backend *may* need random nfs ports as determined by nfs backend need ports 42160 & 42161 for streaming, usually only tcp (But I hope you got a really good uplink on your remote if you're gonna try it.) frontend will probably need all the same. --- Kirk Grell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > In a few of the MythTV How-to's I've read, it's > recommended to turn off the firewall during the > Linux > install.
