also - if you have any doubts at all, you can download the myDSL extension iptables and then run the following script:
#!/bin/sh iptables -F iptables -A INPUT -p all -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --syn -j DROP
Save this script in a file called foo, then just chmod +x foo in the directory you placed it in, then "sudo ./foo" from there. You will have a very effective firewall running. Want to shut it down? Just to "sudo iptables -F".
Easy, fast, simple, effective.
But as they said - DSL is very safe out from the box, accepts no connections, has no listening ports, etc...
Good luck!
