It is more crazy than that. In the download /etc/default/iptables-rules file I find this: *nat :PREROUTING ACCEPT :POSTROUTING ACCEPT :OUTPUT ACCEPT # Forward cvspserver connections to vcs-noshell # FIXME: are people really using download.savannah.gnu.org for pserver? -A PREROUTING -d 208.118.235.73 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 2401 -j DNAT --to-destination 208.118.235.72 COMMIT That is DNAT relaying the connection to download over to vcs. I think that means there isn't any pserver possible to be running on download but that connections to download are transparently using vcs instead. I don't think that is a desirable configuration. I don't think we want to continue it. But I listed it as a "huh, what?" when I saw that. I think we should definitely not continue it and then deal with any pserver connections as needed. Bob
