At least my "stock" version [v 1.8.2.3 2000/07/20 15:17:44] had this near
the top:

# Start by allowing everything (this prevents the rest of the file
# from working, so remove it when you need protection).
# The rules here work on a "First match wins" basis.
ALL : ALL : allow

So the examples don't matter. But this default setup is insecure anyhow.
