How does Shorewall handle AOL Instant messenger?  I have noticed that when
my two daughters are both using AIM there is a lot of activity in the
firewall log (it turns to red very quickly).

I found the following in an AIM FAQ:

What can I do if I'm having trouble using Instant Messenger at work?

If you're experiencing problems connecting to Instant Messenger from your
office network, talk to your Network or System Administrator. Chances are
you're behind a 'firewall,' and need to ask your System Administrator to
open up port 5190 (this is Instant Messenger's 'default' port, which is
like a secure door in your company's firewall).

Thanks.
