Because it seemed like a good idea at the time?  :-)

Historically, much of the code in the firewall scripts was "borrowed"
from other Linux firewall distributions, and modified to suit us.  I'll
bet you'll find "7" used in other distros too.

I checked the kernel source code and the only values used now are: 
zero, one, and anything greater than one.  (=0, =1, >1)

"greater than one" seems to be what we want to do, and since 7 > 1, 
the existing code should work fine.

I'll change it to "2" in the 1.1 CVS, so the same question/confusion
doesn't happen again.  

Thanks for double checking our firewall scripts!  Let us know if you
find anything else you don't think is correct.
