hey OSB ..
#assume root
sudo -i
#do this:-
iptables-save > /etc/iptables_temp
sudo nano /etc/iptables_temp
# add some rule like:-
-A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 123 -j ACCEPT
#where 123 is the port you wanna open.
iptables-restore < /etc/iptables_temp
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
#check the new rule is active:-
iptables -L
#look for a line like:-
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:123
#leave sudo
exitthassit .. huh, guess i'll have to tut that!
