[lug] ipchains question

[Glenn Murray]

Hi,

I am installing Debian on a box I am intending to use
as a server and I wish to be able to telnet into it.

I can telnet in when the input policy is ACCEPT, but
I'm wondering if it is possible to have a policy of
DENY and then accept the packets I want to accept.

This latter system works on my workstation, allowing
me to telnet, ftp, out (but not in).

Thanks,
Glenn
