[Fedora-packaging] port opening and PATH modification in rpm spec file

[MGandra at diskeeper.com]

Hi

Can you explain little bit more on what to write in script in
etc/profiles.d? I also want to update environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
how to do that.

This is my first time on linux in my whole life.

Thanks
Madhukar Gandra

Add a Readme.Fedora file to your package describing the reasoning and 
the needs. There are a miriad of ways to manage a local firewall and as 
sysadmin I would not be happy with a random package messing with my 
firewall.
