Yeah the first VPS I was on wouldn't open ports for me, so I got out of there ASAP.

Ugh, Python 2.5 isn't in Yum.

I don't think you can do this without port 843, unless I'm mis-reading something. From the Adobe docs linked by Orrin (emphasis mine):


Well, I'll tellya, I did a ton of looking into this, and
according to some Adobe developers, the app checks the
target port first, and *then* port 843.

However, based on this documentation, I'd have to say
that if it does do that, it certainly seems like it's
not *supposed* to.

I've been doing further testing, and it seems that FMud does
not check the target port first. It seems to always
check port 843 first :(

The good news is that it's trivial to set up a policy
server in LPC. I've done so, and I am hoping that my
host will redirect 843 to the policy server my mud is
running. If so I'll be all set with this flash client…
as will anyone else on that box, for that matter.

Find a repository that matches your OS and add it to yum. If you don't know how, pretty sure google will have something. (I think it's as easy as editing /etc/yum.conf)

I was told my OS does not have it.

It may well be version dependent. I know that there is nothing that I can control in the code to set the order of ports checked. Looking at the debug logs it still checks for a crossdomain.xml first even though they are deprecated for socket connections. It can be pretty confusing at first look, but as you say the actual serving of a socket policy file is pretty trivial and hopefully more hosts will implement this service.

When in doubt configure; make; make install!

I'm surprised my MUD got rated a number of times already, I've never seen that happen before on other MUD sites.
