>         BLOCK_SERVER_ALLOWS_PUBLISHING: yes

Good -- this one means what you would actually think.

>         FORCE_TCP_TRANSPORT: no

Hm..  (Zooko looks in source code.)  This one disables the code that 
determines your IP address, determines whether it is likely to be routeable 
from the public internet, and if not turns out "SERVE_USING_A_RELAY".

It shouldn't hurt in your configuration, but neither should you need it.

>         RUN_BLOCK_SERVER: yes

Yay!

>         RUN_CONTENT_TRACKER: no

Darn.

>         RUN_LOCALHOST_GATEWAY: no

Err.  I guess this means to run the HTTP server which provides the user 
interface.  Since this is off, then the other thing about 
"ALLOW_ACCESS_FROM_OUTSIDE_LOCALHOST" wasn't such an emergency after all.

But neither can you use your node to store and retrieve files.

"RUN_LOCALHOST_GATEWAY" is another poorly-named config variable.

>         RUN_META_TRACKER: yes

I'm sure this doesn't work, since the meta tracker source code isn't included 
in the basic distribution.  If you want to run a metatracker, ask Jim or 
Tschechow or someone to help you set one up.  (We desperately need two more 
metatrackers.)

>         RUN_RELAY_SERVER: yes

Yay!

>         RUN_WXBROKER: no

This one actually does what you would think it does based on its named.  
("wxBroker" -- the wxGUI interface.)

>         SERVE_USING_A_RELAY: no

Fine.

Alas there is no such option.  The only two settings currently are "allow 
access from localhost" and "allow access from anywhere".  The simplest and 
safest thing to do is for you to set up an ssh tunnel and set it to allow 
access only from localhost.

Sorry about that.

In general, the config variable situation is a big mess with v0.6.  It is 
already hugely cleaned up in the CVS version of v0.7, and it will be cleaned 
up even more before v0.7 is released.

We even have some general rules about config variables which I am now adding 
to the Mnet Coding Standards [1].
