Research iptables configuration recommendations

Introduction
For a much slimmer foot print out there, I'd recommend the following modifications (still testing). There have been a number of changes to the way processes are listening and how they are limited across the various versions of WebOS. The latest is closed down somewhat tighter than the initial releases. However, it you're like me, and believe that your phone shouldn't be offering up any services at all to the Internet, the below modifications to the stock iptables config will help make a much less accessible phone.

It should be noted that this config works with MyTether, but I can't guarantee that it will work with all other configs (like OpenSSH or Dropbear SSH), so some minor tweaking may be in order to get those services to work.
