Failed to retreive session create status

When starting the server. The console spams the message and its impossible
to join the server as player, but you can connect to it with rcon.

The problem occurs when starting the server... and some time later when the
server tries to recreate the session.
The problem was there already with 1.1 (was running with Wine on Centos)
Now i use Cod5 on linux version 1.2 (without Wine)

It seems to have something to do with the creation of the session with the
masterservers. Some forums mention to open port 3074 for this problem, but
it seems that the session create data doesnot use port 3074 to send the data
back to your box.

I'm using a Dedicated Centos box with IPTables as Firewall, opened the port
3074 for tcp and udp besides the usual ports for COD and PB.

My solution for now is:
- Shutdown firewall
- Start Cod5
- After session is created in cod5: Start Firewall

This way i am able to connect and play on the server.
