Hmmm. On reading, I notice a function named "initd_clear" called by an argument of "clear". Running this leaves the system open - all targets are "ACCEPT". The README in /etc/init.d points at the Debian Policy manual, and this mentions several standard arguments for init.d scripts - "clear" isn't one of them. How would I find out what (if anything) calls with this argument? If some automated process is going to call this, it will leave my system with an open firewall, and I need to know to plan around it.
