&gt;     &gt;In other words, if I REJECT packets to, say, port 25, then to an
&gt;     &gt;attacker running a scan it looks like I don't have a daemon
&gt;     listening on
&gt;     &gt;port 25.  But if I DROP packets to port 25, then he knows I have
&gt;     some
&gt;     &gt;kind of firewall in place, and might think I would make a more
&gt;     &gt;interesting target.
&gt;     &gt;
&gt;     Er, other way around?
