Allowing port ranges in the firewall

[John Griffiths]

I don't know if this is the correct list or not. Please advise correct 
list if not.

I want to open the range of bittorant ports 6881-6999:tcp. I used 
/usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel and tried to open a port range 
using 6881-6999:tcp. system-config-securitylevel accepted the command, 
but when I checked it, only port 6881:tcp was opened. Am I missing 
something? I looked for a man page or help for 
system-config-securitylevel and couldn't find one. I did a google search 
for system-config-securitylevel and "port range" and got some stuff on 
ftp but nothing on actually opening a range.

TIA,
John
