Short answer without reading your rules:  For something that simple use
the firewall setup that Redhat lets you configure when you install the
system.  Tell it "medium firewall" and select those ports to be open.

If you've already installed, you can run "lokkit" to [re]configure the
Redhat firewall rules.  (RPM installation from CD#1 may be necessary)
