[CentOS] CentOS automatically blocks port 80 out-of-the-box

[Brian Mathis]

CentOS does not open ports like that when you install a package,
that's something you have to do yourself.

I recently heard a podcast (http://twit.tv/floss62) talking about eBox
which sounded like a management platform that does something like what
you are looking for.
