10.4: Change firewall rules for system Sharing services
Authored by: avocade on Dec 21, '07 09:44:08AM

Simpler way is just to add an extra 0 to the com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist preferences, making it 59000 and 32830. Save and restart Remote Desktop in Sharing, and you can't longer access 5900 through the firewall. I know it's a _potential_ risk of having those two open... nah. This is a simple hack for those just wanting to ssh in to do vnc, without a lot of ipfw-hackery. Works great on my iPhone with VNSea.
