firewall after up2date kernel upgrade

[Todd Wade]

I have a virtual server listening on port 8080. (The devel server) I upgraded to kernel via up2date and now I cant contact the server from outside the machine. A couple months ago when I added a secure server all I did was put:   -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 443 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains and it worked. So I was hoping:   -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 8080 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT   Would open 8080 back up, but no sucess. I know the point of the upgrade was to close some ports up, but what do I need to to to get the ones I want open open again?   The build is a vanilla RedHat 7.2 from ISO's. According to RHN my machine is completely up to date as far as errata and upgrades. Here is teh contents of my ipchains file:   :input ACCEPT :forward ACCEPT :output ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 21 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 22 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 23 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 25 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 80 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 109 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 110 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 143 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 443 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 8080 -p tcp -y -j ACCEPT -A input -s 0/0 -d 0/0 -i lo -j ACCEPT -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 0:1023 -y -j REJECT -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 2049 -y -j REJECT -A input -p udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 0:1023 -j REJECT -A input -p udp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 2049 -j REJECT -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 6000:6009 -y -j REJECT -A input -p tcp -s 0/0 -d 0/0 7100 -y -j REJECT Thanks for any input,   trwww
