Server 2008, Fedora core 7, Ralus Agent and IPtables...

Hi folks, I have a question about IPtables rules and such.
The jist of my network is as follows:
Server 2008 running veritas 12
Fedora Core 7 with the ralus agent.

Currently I have my scripts backing up what  I need at 1am. At 2am I flush IPtables. At 2:05 am Backup exec goes in and grabs the files, at 3am the iptables rules are back in effect.

Currently the rules for IPTables that I have allow backup exec to communicate with the FC7 box, but when the actual backup goes it fails.

The only things that I could really find was that it backup exec uses port 10000 with the nmdp protocol. I tried making some rules but IPtables didn't recognize that protocol.

Here's what I have so far for my IPTables that is related to the Backup exec end of things:

#for backup exec
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 6101 --sport 1024:65535 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 6101 --sport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -i eth0 --dport 10000 --sport 1024:65535 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 10000 --sport 1024:65535 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -i eth0 -p tcp -j ACCEPT

Thanks for your help!

Derek

P.S. can someone tell me where to ge the latest version of ralus? for the life of me I cannot find it!

Fedora is not listed as a compatible OS in the v11d SCL
 
(RHEL 5.0 is)
 
According to http://seer.entsupport.symantec.com/docs/287939.htm , you should be able to get the latest RALUS through Symantec File Connect
