useful for debugging.

If set, forbidden packets are rejected rather than dropped
(ignored). This means that a ICMP "port unreachable" error
message is sent back to the client. Rejecting packets makes
port scanning somewhat easier.

larger address space of IPv6 makes network scanning much
less effective.

# !!! Maybe if `enable' is false, the firewall should still be built

# doesn't deal with such Upstart jobs properly (it starts them if
# they are changed, regardless of whether the start condition
# holds).
