When I type '/sbin/ipchains -L -n' it says, 'Chain input (policy ACCEPT)'.

I double checked /etc/rc.firewall and the default filter is 'ipchains -P
input DENY'.  I also double and triple checked
/usr/local/pmfirewall/pmfirewall and the default says DENY there as well.
The difference is that here it reads, '$IPCHAINS -A input -j DENY -l'
instead of the '-P' info. Does it matter?

Any idea what may be causing ipchains to say the default is ACCEPT? Or am I
misunderstanding the output?

Thanks.

p.s. Can anyone recommend a good book about setting up firewalls that is
still in print? I have spent way too much time on just this part of the
server and am getting no where. Most ports are closed but 10 ports are open
remotely no matter what I do.
