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"
