iptables -P INPUT DROP

I use DROP. I guess it is not a good idea to send ICMP packets back
by default (But I don't know if it can be done).

Anyway, here is the result of my test:

fugue:~# iptables -P INPUT REJECT
iptables: Bad policy name
fugue:~# iptables -P INPUT DROP
fugue:~# uname -a
Linux fugue 2.6.22-1-686
