it needs root acess to modify iptable...and as far as i think...thr shudnt be any entry in the iptables..bcz just i m opening one port with one program...which wont run as soon as the machine reboots...n then too ..to open port i dont need root acess...then is thr no way to close it or to redirect it to some other address.. thanx nitin
