can't ssh outside with OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)

["Maxim Veksler" <hq4ever@gmail.com>]

Hello,

Follwing a recent theread on this list, I've configued my firewall to
allow incoming traffic from specific IP's only. Now I can't ssh
outside, could some please explain why this happening ?

The system is redhat 4.

[root@prd-001 ~]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  xxx.114.183.1        anywhere
ACCEPT     all  --  yyy.8.145.182        anywhere
ACCEPT     all  --  zzz.68.137.158       anywhere
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

Trying to ssh to "aaa.bbb.216.35" fails with timeout, looking at
tcpdump on the otherside shows no TCP handshack is made.

Thank you for your help,
Maxim.
