Hey Folks:

        Im trying to open port 8000 on my redhat 7.2 , i've added the ipchain rule
to my firewall rule set
ipchains -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 8000 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT

and

ipchains -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 8000 -p udp -j ACCEPT

the ipchains module is loased from my rc.local file at boot time

every other port I closed or opened with a ipchains command works like it
should example I opened port 10000 for webmin with the same ipchain rule
ipchain -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 10000 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT no problem the
port opens .

Do I have to do any thing else ? like list the port in the /etc/services
file ?

I'm running xinetd.d , so do I have to make an entry in that ? I did'nt have
to for port 10000.

any advice would be nice.

I'm stumped as to where to procede from here

Thanks

Greg
