Sigh. I don't normally get into this sort of thing, so I'll make it quick. A simple iptables script that doesn't allow anything to come in from the external interface generally takes me less than 5 minutes to set up (less if I just copy it from another box).
The cost of 5 minutes of my day can be far outweighted by a rooted box because 'oops - we missed something'. It could mean going on-site and re-setting up the box again fully from scratch to be safe. Firewall? Cheapest insurance my customers pay.
