So..

ipchains -A input -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT
ipchains -A input -p udp -s 0.0.0.0 -j ACCEPT 

Should allow all tcp & udp connections from everyone ?  I can't remember
myself, so I can't say that in some circumstances 0.0.0.0 does mean
everybody, but I just checked it, and I can't even get into the telnet
port (only allowed ftp & ssh), and I didn't specifically disable port 23.  

so.. what does 0.0.0.0 mean to ipchains ?
