Subject: does "iptables -t filter -A INPUT --match conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT" gives a false sense of security ?

I misconfigured my Gentoo iptables script and could therefore not download source code archives via ftp. I "repaired" that script and restarted it - ftp was possible. After a reboot however ftp won't work again. I realized that probably a parallel Gentoo emerge job jumped into the restart sequence of the iptables script and therefore the ftp download could be finished.
Now I'm wondering if this is a "works as desigend" feature and how this racy mischance can be avoided.
