How do I check on my Fedora core 5 system if port 443 is open? If it is
closed, how do I open it?

Try telnet localhost 443. And you would need to run a program that
listens on 443 to open it.

If you do it on localhost it doesn't go through the external firewall.
Should try grc.com or other external probing sites.

Why one would want 443 open is another issue entirely. How the OP opens
this port is explained in man iptables.

Your sig is too many lines long.
