[collectd] port open, packets received, no data. now what?

[Craig Calef]

Sorry all I'm a complete idiot.  I thought of this the moment after I sent

(Incase anybody ever hosts with Rackspace remember that they have an agent
that sweeps through periodically and does things to your iptables firewall
rules.)

Yours in foolishness,
Craig
