[K12OSN] what tool to modify iptables?

[Petre Scheie]

Apparently I'm not the first to complain about the lack of an 'Other 
ports' option in redhat-config-securitylevel: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105827

I don't have FC2 installed anywhere.  Could someone who is testing 
Eric's latest beta run redhat-config-securitylevel to see if they fixed 
the problem and report back to the list?
