FC3 -- how to open ports

[wmconlon]

I upgraded from FC1 (a gem) to FC3. Now I find that the only open ports are:

22, 25, 53, and 80.

This despite my iptables being unchanged. I even went so far at to turn off the firewall using the Security Level settings in gnome. I verified that there were no rules, but I still had the same open ports. And I do have other services running (POP3 on 110, and Darwin Streaming Server on 554 & 1220). I restored my iptables subsequently.

I have SELinux disabled, so there must be something else that's locking out traffic. Help, please!

Do you have these services started? They won't be listening if they are not. You can specify other port numbers in the Security Level box, and there should be an example there.

SELinux is not directly related to networking, it involves better access controls (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/).

Right. After a couple of glasses of wine, it became clear. For some reason dovecot was not responding to my telnet. So I stopped it and started cyrus-imapd.

Now I just have to get the authentication working.
