Well, check /etc/inetd.conf and make sure that things are not not
accidently serviced by inetd. Otherwise when you flush the rules or
when you haven't got a default DROP policy, certain ports will still be
reported as open.
So if i understand well, you suggest me to put those line at the top of my Iptable script cause it seems to be safer, by default it DROP packets except when i have defined specific rules wich is my case :
