What ports does pserver use... Hmmm...it uses TCP and UDP port 2401, according 
to /etc/services.  So that port on TCP and UDP would have to be allowed -- 
the UDP port will have to be explicitly allowed back through, whereas a 
standard 'established' rule would work fine for TCP on 2401.  Allowing 
ingress and egress traffic on TCP and UDP 2401 might do the trick.

I've never run into the problem, but I also have an 'established' rule -- but 
I do not explicitly allow UDP traffic on port 2401 back in through my choke 
border router portion of my firewall (Cisco 2514 IOS 12.0(22) with a largish 
extended ACL).  My ACL's are set such that what isn't explicitly allowed is 
denied.

The Red Hat ipchains firewall selected during install will have to have the 
incoming enable, IIRC.
