I have a couple of questions about mapping ports using iptables.

Firstly, is it dangerous? Can mapping a port compromise my system in any way?

Secondly, if it's not dangerous, can anyone point me to a howto that 
actually explains not only how this is done, but has examples. I've had a 
look around for stuff, but I really don't understand what they're talking 
about half the time. An example that I can modify to suit my own needs 
would be great.

thanks,

Sandra.
