Bug description:
Binary package hint: ufw

Ubuntu release 10.04
Package ufw (default firewall).

Description of the bug:
Ufw firewal not activated by default after ubuntu 10.04 installation.

Here is results of 'iptables -L' command just after installation:
root@jcc-desktop:/home/jcc# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

With such rules any incoming packet is entering in memory with any control.
For 'chain INPUT' and 'chain FORWARD' default policies should be DROP. 

As soon the user activates ufw with gufw, every thing is OK. 
But if this verification is not made, the system is staying without firewall protection.
