Package: firehol
Version: 1.214-2
Severity: normal

during boot, firehol doesn't set iptables policy to DROP:

        Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
        Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
        Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)

however, when I login as root and do /etc/init.d/firehol restart,
with exactly the same /etc/firehol/firehol.conf, the result is
different:

        Chain INPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
        Chain FORWARD (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)
        Chain OUTPUT (policy DROP 0 packets, 0 bytes)

If I understand the generated rules correctly, this is not a terrible
issue, because there is an explicit DROP at the end of each table.

However, it really looks bad.
