Here ya go!

Oct 08 16:02:01.769 [Notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done.
Oct 08 16:02:01.769 [Notice] Now checking whether ORPort
184.75.214.178:21357 and DirPort 184.75.214.178:9030 are reachable...
(this may take up to 20 minutes -- look for log messages indicating success)
Oct 08 16:02:04.644 [Notice] Self-testing indicates your ORPort is
reachable from the outside. Excellent. Publishing server descriptor.
Oct 08 16:02:13.379 [Notice] Performing bandwidth self-test...done.

So if I can live without Dirport then I guess I have an exit node!
