The second patch below allows outsiders to connect to your AUTH port (113). I found that allowing this will cut down a lot on the number of pointless "Deny" log messages you will get if you don't have this, because a *lot* of things out in the real world (most notably Sendmail) _will_ try to connect to your local auth port whenever you connect out to them.

Or you can simply ignore them completely w/out logging them, since AUTH is a useless protocol, and you really shouldn't have a real AUTH daemon running on your box in any case.

On this topic also consider the "dummy" AUTH server in inetd...
