[rhn-users] open a port in iptables

[dlederer at hilltowncharter.org]

Hi,
I'm simply trying to open port 497 so I can use Retrospect backup client
on a RHEL 4 box.
Below is the iptable edited for port 497 (udp and tcp)
what might I be doing wrong? a port scan from another machine on the
network can't see it open.
Thanks for your help!
