An explanation for the firewall related changes - it turns out that this
script (and all previous versions) had claimed to activate firewalling,
but actually didn't since /etc/init.d/iptables was not being run at boot;
it had been missing in the list of permitted services.

The new version adds iptables as a permitted service, but sets the
firewall to disabled in the kickstart file so that it won't break things
for people who were expecting the previous behavior. It contains an
example (lightly tested) in the ks file which contains lightly tested
firewall rules to match common services (including IPSec).
