* libyahoo2 now automatically scans ports 21, 23, 25 and 80 if it cannot connect on the default port.is this the outcome of a prior discussion on this mailing list. what if the yahoo client connects and some other client wants to connect to that port??
eh?
I don't understand. What does this have to do with another client connecting? If you can have n browsers connected to one http server, then why not n yahoo clients to one yahoo server?
the port scan is in case you're behind a firewall and cannot connect on port 5050 (like I am).
NOTE: 21 is no longer scanned. That was a leftover entry in the ChangeLog.
