Configuring the firewall for Leopard

[Christopher Hunt]

Allow me to rephrase my question. :-)

I'm having difficulty configuring the Leopard firewall for a service  
installed via launchd. My service sits on port 993. How do I  
configure the Leopard firewall to allow incoming traffic on port 993?

 From what I can see, I can only declare applications via the "Set  
access for specific services and applications" pane. If I chose the  
application logically associated with that socket (/usr/local/bin/ 
imapd) then I am not able to connect. However if I disable the  
firewall (allow all incoming traffic) then my imap clients connect to  
port 993 successfully.

Any pointers further to this and my previous posts?

Cheers,

P.S. port 993 is used to accept imap traffic over ssl - imaps; sorry  
for not being more specific. From /etc/services:
imaps           993/udp     # imap4 protocol over TLS/SSL
imaps           993/tcp     # imap4 protocol over TLS/SSL
