I am getting a lot of output to syslog from iptables like:

Nov 24 20:35:07 coyote kernel: iptables denied: IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=fe:fd:45:a4:c3:0f:00:d0:d3:9f:81:36:08:00 SRC=93.55.226.138 DST=69.164.195.151 LEN=78 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=110 ID=3400 PROTO=UDP SPT=1031 DPT=137 LEN=58

Is this normal and is there anything else I should be doing to harden my system?

Nah - the "denied" tag indicates that iptables is just doing its thing - dropping packets that don't matching any of the "allow" rules you set up.
