If any of you were using everybuddy behind a firewall, you may be interested in knowing that a new CVS RPM is out. It is at http://db.ilug-bom.org.in/Applications/everybuddy/
In this version, the yahoo module does automatic port cycling if it cannot connect on port 5050.
libyahoo2 has these changes in CVS if anyone is interested. (http://libyahoo2.sf.net/)
NOTE: This cycling is handled in the lib. If you link against it, you do not need to change your application at all.
