Paul & others,

As I am aware, ssh uses only one connection but it 
also gets ACCEPT rules.  So I still don't understand why 
some protocols, dns, ftp and ssh, need rules in 
/etc/shorewall/rules while other protocols, pop, 
smtp and http, do not.  Does shorewall accept  
the latter protocols by default?  Seems contrary 
to reason.

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
