Hi
Rahul, from what source are you deriving this?
seems to be possible in kickstart
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s...
but not during installation or using the firewall configuration utility
Regards Rahul Sundaram

Check out /usr/share/system-config-kickstart/firewall.py for the scoop on this. Ranges will work in s-c-kickstart because the Python script takes the user's entry as a verbatim string and just passes it into the configuration file. That's probably a moot point, since the page in Charles' tutorial originally under discussion concerned only system- config-securitylevel, which doesn't work the same way. Interesting stuff! (And it makes me want to get more into Python, which I keep meaning to do, if only I could get the spare time.)
Charles, I guess you're off the hook for that one, but you may want to check the Rawhide version or wait for FC4 to see if there's a change.

If I remember correctly, kickstart is the RH version of Solaris's Jumpstart, which is a way of remotely installing desktops (or servers). So it makes sense that this would be more configurable than a normal desktop system tool. And I'm not really sure how this applies to a system that I (hypothetically) installed using CD's I downloaded and burned. Also, I'm not really sure where you get the idea that this configuration even allows port ranges. It seems that it is basically the same tool as the 'system-config-securitylevel' tool, but designed for creating a config script for a kickstart installation. At any rate, the link you sent (above) doesn't mention being able to configure port ranges.
