[cobalt-users] Fix for PortSentry 2.0b1 Install Issues on a Raq 4i

["Administrator" <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Update:

I just received the following information from Craig Rowland at Psionic with 
regards to this issue on PortSentry 2.0b1:

 "Shorten down the monitored ports list for TCP and UDP.
  There is a condition with some BPF filters that having
  too long of a port list will cause it to crash. This
  will cause the condition. I'm working on a fix and will
  test something on the next update."

I tested this (shortened the TCP/UDP lists down to three ports each) and I 
now receive the portsentry service (in the ps list) and "PortSentry is 
initialized and monitoring." in the messages log. I have requested more 
information as to the current port limit and await a response. I will post 
when I get it.
