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.

Cheers,
Bret
