It is working like it is supposed to be.
Out of the box it is statefull inspection firewall.
You can optionally enable VPN tunnels (if needed) or turn on the
active IDS (if you will actually read the messages when they are
generated--not a set-and-forget kind of thing).
You can also enable DHCP, proxy or any other features that you MIGHT need.

It wouldn't make sense to turn everything on 'just incase'.
Every daemon you turn on uses more resources on that box.
eg. Squid (proxy server) works great, but you need disk space, fast
cpu and RAM for that.

BTW, you might get more responses if the list didn't have a hiccup and
if you referred to the IPCop interface as either a web interface or
webmin interface.  It is NOT a desktop menu. (probably threw some
people for a loop on where the gui xwindow comes up with ipcop).
