Dear All
To open a port , I know that I need to go to "System -> Administration ->
Security Level and Firewall" -> Other ports and then I can open port-5901
as tcp protocol . Can you please do me favor and let me know how it can be
done from the command line (if my CentOS is text-mode installed) ? (perhaps
via iptables?)
Let me thank you in advance
Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables
Restart iptables with service iptables restart
Tony
My /etc/sysconfig/iptables states at the top that editing of it is not
recommended. Yeah, I don't always follow such recommendations myself,
but is there perhaps another way more in keeping with the sense of the
application?

Yeah, editing directly can be risky, nothing worse than making a change
only to find that access to your server just disappeared and you need to
get in front of it to reset via the console....
I use webmin for most of my edits, only make it accessible from the LAN
and not the WAN. You can always tunnel the :10000 port via ssh and
access securely from a remote location.
The webmin console is left open while I test, thus I have not yet
tripped up on this though I can imagine it is not fool proof.
