Yeah, I tend to work at a lot of sites that have firewalls.  Also, I
recommend to my clients that they not run processes on anything but the IANA
standard port.  Hope this doesn't start too much of an off topic discussion
;-).  Anyways, I did a little checking into the guts of the Qube, and came
to the same conclusion about the second HTTPD process.  I wonder what would
happen if I were to change it to 443... I haven't seen any of the default
pages that use that port, and a netstat -an didn't have anything listening
on 443.  I figure that I could change the 81 to 443, but anyone know enough
about Apache to tell me what I'd have to do to get the 444 moved over to
443?
