Dear All,

I have a basic question: I need to enable a cvs server to telnet back
to port 2401 as described at

http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-37342.html

You should be able to telnet into your server from a remote system
on port 2401 to your pserver box. If not, perhaps you haven't
opened up your iptables firewall for access to this port?

how can I do that with iptables temporarily?
