I'm trying to block my MySql port from the outside world and I've RTFM like 
all hell so I'm just about the point where my hair is turning grey.  I'm 
using the rule 

/sbin/iptables -A -FORWARD -i -eth0 -p tcp --dport 3306 --tcp-flags ALL ALL 
-j DROP    

to try to block it, but everytime I portscan myself (nmap beta25) it still 
finds it. Can anyone tell me what's screwed up with the rule or is Nmap just 
that good? 

                                                        Darryl
