Is there a way? I am not even sure that this is an iptables issue, only that restarting it appears to be resolving the problem (namely that ssh is set to access through the standard port, which is disabled in favor of the non-standard port in the ssd_config). I do see that the iptables package has not been updated at all since F18 was released. Neither has ssh, and both of them worked at least till Friday mid-morning, but not after Friday afternoon. One point to note is that I did update through yum (and have not been able to resolve my sound for this i386 machine yet). However, this iptables + ssh did work from Thursday afternoon for about 24 hours, as usual. Perhaps something else messed it up, and will need to be fixed. Thanks again for any help!
