Chains question

[Scott H]

In many IPchains scripts I see ports above 1024 set to accept in-bound
traffic on TCP and UDP.  There is usually a comment to the effect of
ports above 1024 are fair game.  Could some one explain why this is
considered to be ok?  In my case I am using a linux firewall for my home
network.
