RAP...RAP...just kidding. This is actually a very poignant question,
because it doesn't look like there is a way to do it using
redhat-config-securitylevel. I usually do it with kickstart, passing
the --port=6881:tcp option to the firewall line. I tried doing that to
redhat-config-securitylevel, to no avail.
So, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables by hand and add a line like
this _before_ the REJECT lines:
-A RH-Lokkit-0-50-INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 6881:6889 --syn -j ACCEPT
This is definitely worth a bugzilla entry.
