Open ports from installation

[jith45]

Hi,

I want to know if there are any ports we need to open on a firewall (like iptables) when using the socket install of rutorrent+rtorrent ?

I know I will have to open rtorrent's port using:
Code:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 54560 -j ACCEPT
Is there any other one we need to accept ?

Thanks in advance

if your firewall blocks traffic on the loopback device then you need to open whatever port your scgi mount is using.

Defaults to 5000 but i normally go with 5001 for the first user, 5002 for the second user, and so on.
