Okay, that seems to work. Thank you! Strange that the ufw install routine didn't do that automatically. And yes, I do read the wiki articles, whenever I have the time, patience and intelligence to do so. Which isn't easy after a very long, difficult day of learning to install and set up Arch. But I did want to get a firewall up and running, quicky. There are lots of bad guys out there these days. Thanks again.
