So I use Samba on my home network. I open the samba ports in the GUI tool for CentOS 4. Here is the problem. Every time I reboot I'm forced to run system-config-securitylevel to get firewall ports open again. So like if I reboot samba won't work. I go into that tool either via command line or via the GUI and I simply click "ok" and samba is suddenly open.
Does anyone know what is happening? I've tried iptables -save or whatever. Nothing seems to work in getting these ports to be open on reboot.

Look into file /etc/sysconfig/iptables - this is where system-config-securitylevel is supposed to place iptable rules definitions; Are samba ports open in that file?
If so, what iptables -L -v -n reports after system is started and after service iptables restart?
Any messages regarding iptables in dmesg or /var/log/messages?
