[chuck-users] windows and under privileged users

[ssalazar at CS.Princeton.EDU]

Jeremy,
chuck --loop binds to TCP port 8888, and subsequent chuck +/-/=/etc. 
commands communicate with the chuck --loop process through that port.  
Windows XP SP2's firewall blocks binding to pretty much any 
non-Windows-related ports by default, so at the very least you will 
need to to unblock port 8888 for ChucK.  In a lab PC situation I highly 
recommend restricting port 8888 access to only localhost connections.  
chuck --loop should still work in this case.  Changing firewall 
settings does require admin access, though.
