Hi all,

This is an interesting article that discusses the challenges we face as 
users and developers of iptables. The premise of the article is that 
when you combine all the ports a modern PC user needs open with software 
that "hijacks" standard ports for other uses, you end up with a 
perimeter firewall that has little value. Ouch!
