not able to ssh from the firewall

[varun <varun_saa@rediffmail.com>]

Hello,

Basically I am allowing internet on the
firewall as well as nating to 2 clients.

I am not able to ssh from the firewall
to a client. Though the reverse is 
working.

I would also like to put :

-A OUTPUT -j DROP

But if I do that clients are not able to connect
to the net. I need add a rule which I could
not figure out.

Please comment and correct.

My rules as follows.
