If you stop and start iptables these ports are no longer open.
I believe this would mean that ntp would stop working as
expected.
No, the rule that accepts ESTABLISHED and RELATED packets lets
ntp work correctly in the usual client/server mode. Punching
holes in the firewall seems redundant, but in a previous
discussion somebody claimed that it is required if broadcast NTP
is used.
