[vox-tech] Overwhelmed with squid install on CentOS 5

[Ryan Northrup]

Dave,

Normally (as far as I'm aware), this would be done with the "iptables"
command, adding that whole string as its arguments:

# iptables -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED
-m tcp -p tcp --dport 3128 -j ACCEPT

Try running that in a terminal as root.
