Errr... That's all it's meant to be... Bear in mind that the stock
rc.firewall has several sections (simple, client, etc.)- this example is
appropriate only for one of the sections and is being used as an example
just to agree the basis. Once that's done, a proper rule will need to be
constructed for each section.
