Under customize, it gives you a dialog to allow additional ports. I've posted in the past that using lokkit on an existing configuration is a risky proposition unless you have a very basic config. Lokkit is a write-only application; it doesn't have the ability to read in an existing config, so the moment you load up lokkit (assuming you choose to save your session), you lose whatever you had in there previously. Rather, it's actually pretty easy to edit a pre-existing lokkit-configured iptables configuration ruleset (/etc/sysconfig/iptables) using your favorite text editor. Using an existing entry in my ruleset allowing HTTP (tcp/80) traffic inbound, I can simply copy that rule and edit the port. So, you might end up with a couple of rules like this: [snip] -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 --syn -j ACCEPT -A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 443 --syn -j ACCEPT [/snip] Save your file, reload your ruleset (service iptables restart), enjoy! :) -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
