987	Wording fix for docs/running.html	JeremyVisser	davidsarah	"In ''[http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/running.html How To Start Tahoe-LAFS]'', there is the following:

----
''If your node is behind a firewall or NAT device and want other clients to connect to it then you'll need to open a port in your firewall. To do that you'll need to know which port tahoe is listening on as, by default, it listens on an arbitrary port number.''
----

""arbitrary port number"" doesn't explain much here. Zooko explained that tahoe picks a random port number, and then stores it in the {{{client.port}}} file. There is no harm in saying this explicitly, like so:

----
''To do that you'll need to know which port tahoe is listening on. If you haven't already set a port number, tahoe picks a random port to listen on (and remembers this number in the {{{client.port}}} file).''
