[ale] Bob Toxen's iptables rules help needed

[Jim Seymour]

Bob if you're out there could you drop me a line? I am trying to
use the iptables rules from "Real World Linux Security" again. I am
getting closer however it looks like it is blocking everything including
functions in X and the lo interface.  Gnome will not come up with the
rules loaded and the internet seems to be off limits as well. I am
trying to keep it as close as possible to your recommendations.

Thanks in advance,

Jim Seymour
