Fixed iChat AV thru OpenBSD PF Firewall

This has been bugging me for ages, but the fix is so simple. I use OpenBSD for my router, and have PF (Packet Filter) running the firewall and NAT rules. I have previously setup the port forwarding, etc. according to Apple, but never could get a successful connection using video or audio (or screen sharing). After reading a post on the OpenBSD misc mailing list I went back and read the OpenBSD 4.

IM Status Applescript for iChat Adium and Skype

I use iChat, Adium and Skype all at the same time. I was looking for a quick way to change the status of all three of them with one fell swoop.

Looking at what other people had written I came across a [good example at Jason Kenison’s blog][1]. He had implemented a method whereby you select Away or Available and then the script will change the status of all three. It worked for Skype and iChat but not for Adium.
