(1) So why isn't this working?
root@PuteA Sat Feb 04 16:52:31 [240] ~ $ iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT iptables v1.3.0: Unknown arg `--dport'
Sorry forgot something in the line there, it should be: # iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p tcp --dport 9000 -j ACCEPT
Don't quite rember if slimserver needs UDP aswell, if so also enter: # iptables -I INPUT -s 192.168.0.0/24 -p udp --dport 9000 -j ACCEP
(2) Also, I've noticed that the box on which I've installed slimserver now has another user (which I did not add!) called "slimserver" with a home directory of /usr/local/slimserver. Under "User Properties --> Account Info" the "local password is locked" box is checked.
This is a default setting, meant to run slimserver as a seperate user other than root, for security reasons. You'd better keep it this way so slimserver can't access the whole system.
Ciao, Bart
