I know this is going to sound like a dumb question to most but I don't know
how to open port 80 when using ipchains.

I am running pmfirewall and it runs beautifully at blocking access -- too
well.  I can get out to the internet 100% unrestricted but unfortunately
all of my services are blocked from allowing anyone to get in.  I am
running apache and need to allow others to reach the web server on my linux
box but my firewall is blocking access to that port along with nearly all
other ports.  

How do I configure ipchains to allow access to my web server without
opening the linux box up to unnecessary dangers?

Yes I read the ipchains HOW-TO and if the answer is in there I missed it,
or didn't understand.  I am six months new to Linux and still learning.
Until I installed linux nevr even seen it before, only heard about it. I
feel proud that I've successfully installed and configured three seperate
distributions so far as well as know a little more than how to 'point and
click' my way through linux. Now I need to learn how to control and manage
my firewall, among other things.

Thanks for your help.
