Visit the Wiki page
http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+security
where you'll find some information about security in Asterisk. (And some
missing pages, which I invite other mailing list readers to write!)

There's a pointer on that page to a page with a suggested IPTABLES setup.
And, as WipeOut stated, make sure you are aware of what you're doing
when managing IPTABLES. Of course, no one else than Wipeout have locked
himself from the system, no way, we're pro's ;-) hrmm....
