Yes. Protect the punters, but forget about us "advanced" users <grin>.

The installer put in all the pinholes I originally had. But I didn't watch
him. Instead of 80,80,tcp,192.168.1.1,80 he had
80,81,tcp,192.168.1.1,80. That shouldn't cause a problem, but being the anal-retentive
perfectionist that I aspire to be, I wanted to change it. So I deleted it.
 But now I can't add it.

And yes, the installer must have used some thing different. With higher access
I guess.
