I have a RedHat ES3 server running bind9, but the firewall seems to be
blocking the connections. I used lokkit to open port 53 but
nmap still lists it as closed. To compare here are two lines
from /etc/sysconfig/iptables: 

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 53 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

but nmap says:

22/tcp open   ssh
53/tcp closed domain

Is there is something else I have to do to open the port?
RedHat seems to put firewall rules all over the place, 
and since this is a headless server I don't have access to any of the gui tools 
RedHat comes with.
That is why I used lokkit, it's the only curses based tool I could find.
Thanks in advance
