Hi there, don't know if anyone give this tip yes, but make a crontab when messing with iptables which shuts down iptables after lets say 10 minutes (or enough time for you to test the new tables), so in case you get yourself locked out of the machine, you will have access again after the job runs. Yeah, experience :)
If you run Shorewall, there's a rule called "ABSENTMINDED" which does _just_ that. The only caveat is, if you happen to lose your IP (eg: dial-up) at the very instance, then you're "screwed"
