Looks like the rules above are accepting anything for that server. The order of the rules makes a big difference.

Thanks for the replies.
iptables -L shows the same thing after stopping and starting service iptables.
I just did a minimal install of the OS. I've never messed with iptables. I only used lokkit to open up ports for ssh and http and dns. Does it make sense that my iptables -L looks like this? Obviously I have to learn about iptables for myself, and that will take some time - but should I be thinking that something nefarious happened here? Or is it just open everywhere because it is like that by default? (Doesn't seem right.)
Is it over reacting to pull the plug and start over?
