[arm-allstar] Debugging port forwarding

[Dave Miller]

Doug,
Cool so the port checker don't work on 4569 UDP.
That may explain some of my issues.

How would I change "BBB has httpd running for lsnodes" from port 80 to
something like 8080?
Then I can use a port checker or a remote body to check. :-)
Thanks
