Currently, anyone could send any rwho entries they'd like to any of our non-nixos machines. Let's set up a firewall rule so that all traffic from the outside is either dropped or rejected.

Added to salt, now we just need to systemctl daemon-reload all machines and restart rhwod.service

It turns out that some of the debian 10 machines generate systemd units from systemv init scripts??? bruh

EDIT: apparently doesn't matter, we can overlay autogenerated units

Okay, fixed for most debian machines now. Should maybe also be done for the freebsd machines. Not sure how to deal with pf, needs some investigation. Maybe someone else wanna pick it up?
