Hi Rob,

I've to agree years ago I was reading this howto but the chain rules
above were out of the simple firewall script from Oscar Andreason and
it's not documented why it's to __DROP__ a packet.

It's a very good howto !

I've read also the manpage and I'am reading a firewall book at the
moment but it's not concerning to a specific DROP after two other rules
so I asked to comprehend my firewall script in order to understand it
completely.
