No, you shouldn't. FTP- and Mailservers often try to connect to your
port 113 to check your identity. If you drop packets instead of
rejecting them, the server will continue to look until it runs into a
timeout, and you'll have to wait for up to a minute any time you try to
connect to such a server.
