I just switched to shorewall.  I configured it to only allow in SSH,
but have one weirdy when I try to test using nmap -v -A -P0 in that
sometimes nmap reports only port 22 open and 113 closed as expected,
but other times it also reports ports 80, 554, and 1755 open, which
has me really confused and concerned.

One word of advice on using shorewall, compile the netfilter options
in your kernel as modules, not directly linked in...  That one lead
me on a merry chase until I punted and switched to using modules...


HTH,
Roy
