Re: Fwd: Re: Ports closed in spite of opening them?

iptables DOES NOT open ports in the strict sense. What iptables does is allow/deny (redirect, etc) traffic THROUGH the port
You need an aplicacion, a service, listening so a port es to be open.

Trying to write an iptables script to open ports 22, 25, 80, and 443 on a
little testing box. The problem is, when I scan for open ports, 25 and 443
report they are *closed*. Any idea what might be going on here?

Do you have services actually listening on those ports? Can you connect to
them from a suitable client running on the machine you did the port scan
from?
