There were no problems with the Firewall, it was correctly setup. I used system-config-securitylevel to admin it, and that admin the iptables file automatically and then I just "service iptables restart" and it should be find. However, the reason why I couldn't connect to the pserver was because xinetd was not installed. I never checked it, and I find it strange that /etc/xinetd.d folder exists even if the xinetd daemon is not installed. I "yum install xinetd" and rebooted the machine and it started to work. I will write a short "guide to setup cvs on FC6", where can I post that on redhat site? www.dwsasia.com - company web site www.lauri.se - personal web site www.carbonfree.org.uk - become Carbon Free
