So I have been to the Networker Advanced Administration class and was
told the only ports we need open on the firewall to back up a client are
7937-7938.  I have run nsrports -s chewie -S 7937-7941 on the client and
have the firewall configured likewise.  

Now running back ups we get connection time outs.  We see in the
firewall logs that the client and server are trying to connect on ports
outside the range specified.  Of course opening ports 7937-9936 on the
firewall solved the porblem, but we do not want that many ports open.

What gives?  Can we lock the client and server down to a few ports?
