This affects the range of source ports used for "reverse" connections;
on the server, it will affect the source ports used for reverse
connections to amrecover.  On the client, it will affect the source
ports used for reverse connections back to the server.  As long as the
ranges are large enough to accomodate the parallelism used in Amanda,
the only implication of these ranges is for firewall rules.
