Ubuntu 9.10 FIrewall--is UFW allowing anything through by default?

Hi,

I have enabled my UBUNTU 9.10 ufw. By default does it let anything through?
I would think it allows all outbound originating requests through and allows for their return but it does not allow any inbound requests. Is this how it works?

I get this using status command:

Code:

root@-desktop:~# ufw status verbose
Status: active
Logging: on (low)
Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing)
New profiles: skip
