You know....maybe I missed someone else pointing this out...but you can use
the "Security Level" gui in KDE or Gnome to get the iptables file built and
then you can easily edit the /etc/sysconfig/iptables file. Look at the
syntax that the open ports have and then copy and paste a new line and
change it to include the port you're after. Once changed you can restart
the Iptables service and voila! I think it's pretty easy.... I came up
through early MS and DR Dos so I got my feet wet farting around in the CLI
to change things...I'll bet if you study that file a bit you'll be able to
see a pattern. The hard part is figuring out which ports are relevant to
you....once know I think the changes are easy.

Hope this helps...
