if I try to block the aforementioned SOB's ip address on the filter table (when -t isn't specified it is supposed to go to the filter table):
# iptables -A INPUT  -s 123.45.67.89 -j DROP
I get:
iptables: No chain/target/match by that name

Sorry, I figured out my problem.  iptables was working fine I
actually needed to use the following command to make my rule stick:

# iptables -I INPUT  -s 123.45.67.89 -j DROP
no more bad guy.
