In following up on the rsh "problem" I was having earlier, I decided
to try out the suggestion Felipe sent about using
system-config-securitylevel-tui to open up ports 513 and 514, but that
doesn't seem to do the job, either.

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT  all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain RH-Firewall-1-INPUT (2 references)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             anywhere            icmp any
ACCEPT     esp  --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     ah   --  anywhere             anywhere
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             224.0.0.251         udp dpt:mdns
ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:ipp
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:ipp
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state
RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW
tcp dpt:login
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW
tcp dpt:shell
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW
tcp dpt:ssh
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            state NEW
tcp dpt:telnet
REJECT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere
reject-with icmp-host-prohibited

Shouldn't this work given the login and shell lines above?  Or do they
need to come before the ESTABLISHED line, too?

Thanks.
