      Remove firewall tasks. · 9398f92b
      McConahy, Renee Margaret authored
      Ordinary firewall filtering rules, placed in iptables's "INPUT" chain in
      the "filter" table, aren't applied to Docker's ingress traffic, which is
      redirected ("NATted") to Docker's interface by the "PREROUTING" chain in
      the "nat" table. Hence, the rules pretending to allow LOCKSS management
      traffic from trusted hosts are superfluous and misleading: traffic to
      those ports is instead restricted by LOCKSS according to its
      "LOCKSS_ACCESS_SUBNET" variable.
      
      I could write rules to filter Docker's ingress traffic, but I would
      rather not take the time--I would need to take care that they were
      always given priority over Docker's rules, even when Docker were
      restarted--and LOCKSS's own handling of matters ought to be sufficient
      for now.
      
      With that, the base firewall rules (enabling a default-deny ingress
      policy with an exception for ssh) seem out of scope for this role.
