Okay, I see that the behavior really is different on your FreeBSD machines than it is on OS X or Linux. We need to figure out how to localize those other services on FreeBSD. The Durus server, in particular, must not be available on a public interface. Mario runs FreeBSD on a virtual server. Does the virtual part make any difference here?
