iptables

[Cere M. Davis]

I'm beginning to goof around with iptables and am trying to accomplish
something dern simple.  For starters I just want to try and allow
all traffic outbound and only inbound traffic from one host.

If I say:

iptables --flush
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -A INPUT --src the.host.I.want -j ACCEPT

and then try running

rpcinfo -p the.host.I.want

I get nothing.  Zilch.  Nodda.  I must be missing something obvious here.
Does anybody know?
