The default port for VNC is 5900, but it's also common on Linux
to reserve 5900 for the actual console session and to map additional ports 
to separate virtual X desktop sessions - port 5901 for the :1 display,
5902 for the :2 display, etc.

I understand YDL is a Redhat derivative for PPC machines; if that
RH-Firewall-1-INPUT line is based on what's in the iptables file on 
your ps3, then it should be fine, where the protocol is tcp. If the line
is from some other machine, then I'd recommend copying a pre-existing
line from the ps3's iptables config file.
