hello everybody, one question, why does
a rule like:
    iptables -A INPUT -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
give this result?
    ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

im very confused....i want all local proccesses to have access to all
services, this is ok i think and needed for database access to localhost etc
and to all virtual network devices...(i think so)
can anybody explain me this behaviour? i read a lot about iptables, try
around for weeks, everything was fine but this.

thanks in advance
