The same point that there is in having ipchains/iptables in Linux - it
allows an Administrator to restrict access to only those services that are
actually required, so that poorly coded services don't provide backdoors to
attackers.  The intent is not to protect from malicious programs run as
root/Administrator (or at least it shouldn't be...)
