Unhappy iptables rules causing problems


hello
i have system with 2 nic's
i have setup iptables with following rules

Code:
#!/bin/sh

IPTABLES=/sbin/iptables
#MODPROBE=/sbin/modprobe
INT_NET=10.168.1.0/24

### flush existing rules and set chain policy setting to DROP

echo "[+] Flushing existing iptables rules..."
$IPTABLES -F
$IPTABLES -F -t nat
$IPTABLES -X
$IPTABLES -P INPUT DROP
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT DROP
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP

###### INPUT chain ######

echo "[+] Setting up INPUT chain..."

### state tracking rules
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP INVALID " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s ! $INT_NET --syn -m state --state NEW -j LOG --log-prefix "INTRUSION"
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp -s ! $INT_NET --syn -m state --state NEW -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

### anti-spoofing rules

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -s ! $INT_NET -j LOG --log-prefix "SPOOFED PKT "
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -s ! $INT_NET -j DROP

### ACCEPT rules

$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT # 22 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i eth1 -p tcp -s $INT_NET --dport 4444 -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

### default INPUT LOG rule
$IPTABLES -A INPUT -i ! lo -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options

###### OUTPUT chain ######
echo "[+] Setting up OUTPUT chain..."
### state tracking rules

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state INVALID -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP INVALID " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

### ACCEPT rules for allowing connections out

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 21 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 43 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 80 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 4321 --syn -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p udp --dport 53 -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j ACCEPT

### default OUTPUT LOG rule

$IPTABLES -A OUTPUT -o ! lo -j LOG --log-prefix "DROP " --log-ip-options --log-tcp-options
then i said on shell:
[CODE]
>service iptables save
>chkconfig iptables on
[CODE]

upon restarting my system i found service "rpc.statd" failing

also gnome takes a lot of time to start
and shows the following error

Quote:
There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.

Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.

The last error message was:

Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
please help me with this

thanks in advance

You've got some logging statements... Are there any log entries in /var/log/messages regarding dropped packets?

please also tell me as to where do the system messages go?

as, if gnome is causing problems it should have generated some error messages regarding the same
