I'm curious why CentOS contradicts its own (or, actually RH's) netfilter
default policy.
On http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables , at the end of
section 1, it's stated that (generally) the default policy for INPUT is
to DROP. So, why is it set to ACCEPT?
Btw, Fedora is also this way.

Michael,
My read of this shows that the iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT is set
temporarily so that doing this via SSH remotely does not lock you out!
All other places is comes as
iptables -P INPUT DROP
