Rules for the usb client definitely. Plus rules so VM's can see the internet but they can't see the host, if bridged networking does not bypass iptables.
danielibarnes:
Go with a default deny, then, and just add rules like I showed for the usb client/server port for www, ssh, etc. as desired. If you want to exclude your local network subnet as a destination, you can do that as well:
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 32032 -d ! 192.168.250.0/24 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --sport 32032 -s ! 192.168.250.0/24 -j ACCEPT
excludes 192.168.250/24, for example. I haven't tested this, so let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Alright. Also, how serious is this:

Do I need that vboxvideo xorg module? My guests are vectorlinux (based on slackware), mint (based on ubuntu) and freebsd.

I'm using VBox quite a bit (with Linux as well as Windows guests) and very often don't use the guest additions (which include the video driver). You only "need" the Xorg driver of the GA if you depend on the "better video support" (as described here). If this special 'Xorg' driver is not found, the 'Xorg' X server should fall back to a "standard" one like VESA, with limits to the default guest screen resolution (e.g. 800x600 in default confless mode).
Linux guests (like TC) that use 'Xvesa' as their (default) X server don't need it either. They would not make use of it anyway, and I'm quite happy with the results (e.g. better choices of supported screen resolutions).
Now, AFAIK the quote from Arslan was for his attempt then (possibly trying with 'v3.2.8'). He has since produced a 'virtualbox-ose-additions.tcz' based on v3.2.10. Furthermore, I hope you are realizing that the GA are specific to the guest OS (!!). That means you would use this TC extension if you want to run TC in a VBox VM, you don't use it if you want to run VBox on a TC host system. For your other guest OS you'll have to get the GA from those (or you compile it yourself, as this is anyway the approach suggested by Oracle).
Arslan S.:
yea as maro explained in previous post virtualbox is ok when tc is the host but there is a problem with xorg driver when you run tc as a guest (for example under windows xp)
but you can safely use guest additions with vesa driver but in this case you won't get full screen or any kind of graphics acceleration
note: there is a sample xorg.conf inside guest additions extension
if you are running virtualbox as tc being the host and slackware the guest operating system then you need guest additions from slackware package repository
