I'll be the first to admit I had no idea what iptables were before this 
so no offense taken or anything. I'm still learning. So what put those 
rules in to begin with? I've certainly never edited the iptables or 
used lokkit directly. Unless something else I was messing with added 
those rules I'm still clueless as to how they got there.
