-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 50 -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p 51 -j ACCEPT That's _protocol_ 50 and 51; not ports 50 and 51 % grep '5[01]' /etc/protocols esp 50 ESP # Encap Security Payload ah 51 AH # Authentication Header IPSec traffic. -- rgds Stephen ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
