2.1 File /etc/services

Configure the service in /etc/services. Add the following line in that file:

        firelisten      999/tcp
        

Pick an TCP port number.

        firelisten stream tcp nowait root tcpd /usr/lib/linuxconf/lib/firelisten firelisten --updfw /sbin/linuxconf --modulemain firewall --update
