He was talking about a mud server, as in a multi-user dungeon, not mutt as
in the mail client.
Something like
netstat -tln
will also list open sockets. It would be a good idea to check to make
sure the program is actually listening where you think it is as a first
step.

Mutt doesn't listen for incoming mail. If that's what you think mutt is
doing, you're wrong. There's no reason to concern yourself about any
ports mutt might take. That's not what mutt is about.
Re Festival, Your distro may have a script to launch festival server.
But again, are you certain you're not laboring under a misconception
about what that means?
PS: To see open ports, run nmap.

Hi,
I wanted to play a bit with mud servers on my fedora box, but got a
strange problem.
When I run the mud, and connect to port 4000 where the mud is running,
telnet tells me connection refused. I also tryed to run the festival
server on port 1314 just to check, but I got the same error when trying
to connect to that port. I am, however, able to ssh into my computer
through port 22. What may be blocking all the ports except port 22? Is
it some iptables or uther network configuration thing?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Take care,
Rynhardt
