Issue
NOTE: Opening additional ports may represent a security threat.
Resolution
RedHat
Modify iptables:- Login to the server as the root user.
- Edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables
- Add the following line:
iptables -I RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -j ACCEPT -p tcp --destination-port ***** -i eth0
Replace "*****" with the port number you want opened, that port will be opened (available) for access.
- Save and exit /etc/sysconfig/iptables
- Restart the firewall with the command:
service iptables restart
SuSe
Add the relevant ports in the Advanced mode of the Firewall Allowed Services Yast module or edit SuSEfirewall2.Yast
- Login to the server as the root user.
- Start Yast:
Yast > Security & Users > Firewall > Allowed Services > Advanced
Add your ports as space delimited/separated lists in the appropriate row (TCP, UDP and so on). Ranges are designated by a colon; e.g. ten VNC ports from 5905 to 5914 would be 5905:5914. You may use service names instead of numerical ports; e.g. http and 80 are the same.
- Exit Yast. The firewall will be automatically restarted.
SuSEfirewall2
- Login to the server as the root user
- Edit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
- Append the port number(s) to the following string. For example, to open ports 21 22 and 1158:
FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP="21 22 1158"
- Save and exit /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2
- Restart the firewall with the following commands:
For SuSE 11 SP3:
/etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_init restart /etc/init.d/SuSEfirewall2_setup restart
For SuSE 12 SP2:
systemctl restart SuSEfirewall2 SuSEfirewall2_init
