Services automaticly change firewall rules to open access to themselfs.

["Jóhann B. Guðmundsson"]

Any thoughts on implementing  automatically port opening for service 
that need to open port access in the firewall
as in when service is started that needs port opening it would 
automatically read some firewall.conf
file for that and open the port automatically according to those 
settings in the firewall.conf file
( add the iptables rules automatically when the service is started and 
remove those rules when the service is stopped )

Doing chkconfig service or service service start/stop and it would also 
open the port for that service in the firewall

Thoughts anyone.
