Hi Vineet,
It depends on why you wanna open a port ? You want POP3 service ? then
install a POP3 Server and edit /etc/inetd.conf and enable it by
uncommenting ( read the related package doc ). If you want to enable
to a specific port using inetd, then a <whatever> should be
initialized by editing the appropriate entry in inetd and restarting
inetd or do a
killall -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`
HTH
