Re: [gentoo-user] modifying iptables: how can I prevent locking me out?

Thanks to all who replied. So first I saved my working rules with
# /sbin/iptables-save -c > /root/ipt.bak

Then I created my command file:
# echo '#!/bin/bash' > /root/ipt-restore
# echo '/sbin/iptables-restore -c < /root/ipt.bak' >> /root/ipt-restore
# chmod 0700 /root/ipt-restore

Now I'm going to set up my restore-job:
# at -f /root/ipt-restore now + 60 min

And after that I will play a little with iptables-rules, hoping that
at-job will save my a** if I screw something...
