    Opening ports with iptables

    Could someone tell me how to open a port and keep it opened?

    Currently I'm just doing something like "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT" to open the ports I need. But when I reset this setting is lost and I have to put it in again.

    On Fedora Core 2, run this:
    Code:
    iptables-save >/etc/sysconfig/iptables
