I just did a check of all the service ports and various higher port ranges
using ShieldsUP! ( https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 ) and AFAICT, the
only open higher port is the one random port that Transmission is currently
using. (BTW, Transmission now seems to automatically open an incoming port -
in F20 and below I had to tell Transmission to use a fixed port instead of a
random one, and manually open that port in the firewall.) This is on a
system clean installed from Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5.iso.
