Port 1215

is there any danger in opening up port 1215? I cannot operate Apollon without doing this, it simply will NOT connect to FastTrack without this port.

Thanks,

your concern should be the security of the service that will be listening on that port, not the port itself...

STUPID/DANGEROUS = port X is open, a daemon with a known security hole is listening on it...

NORMAL/NOT SO DANGEROUS = port X is open, a daemon with no known security holes is listening on it...

NOT DANGEROUS = port X is open, no daemons are listening on that port...
