Folks,

(retry in plain text)

I'm trying to setup OEM GC 10g (R2) on a 32-bit server running RHEL 4.  What 
I'm struggling with is configuring security as it relates to the various ports 
GC uses.  According to .../oms10g/install/portlist.ini, the following ports 
will be used:

Oracle HTTP Server port =  7779
Oracle HTTP Server Listen port = 7780
Oracle HTTP Server SSL port = 8250
Oracle HTTP Server Listen (SSL) port = 4444
Oracle Notification Server Request port = 6003
Oracle Notification Server Local port = 6101
Oracle Notification Server Remote port = 6200
ASG port = 7890
Oracle HTTP Server Diagnostic port = 7200
Application Server Control RMI port = 1850
Log Loader port = 44000
Java Object Cache port = 7000
DCM Discovery port = 7100
Oracle Management Agent Port = 1157
Application Server Control port = 1156
Web Cache HTTP Listen port = 7779
Web Cache HTTP Listen (SSL) port = 8250
Web Cache Administration port = 9400
Web Cache Invalidation port = 9401
Web Cache Statistics port = 9402
Enterprise Manager Central Console Port = 4889
Enterprise Manager Central Console Secure Port = 1159

By default all ports are closed on our servers and I have to open a security 
request per port, listing IPs that will access the port and the direction of 
communication, as in IP xxx can initiate a conversation with port y and/or port 
y can initiate a conversation with IP xxx.

The above list of ports is helpful, but I'd appreciate if someone could help 
out with defining the rules for each of the given ports.  

For example:
       (1)  port 1157.  If the repository is running on SERVERA and there are 
2+ databases on SERVERA, does port 1157 need to be opened to communicate both 
directions with SERVERA?  Seems odd, but then again this detailed level of 
security is new to me.
       (2)  If I'm to discover other servers (and Oracle services on them), do 
agents on SERVERA and these other servers need to be opened to communicate in 
both directions to/from SERVERA?
       (3)  Is any access necessary to/from my PCs IP or IP subnet?  I could 
always run FireFox on the server itself to get a web interface going for the 
console if I had to.

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
