Hi folks, You probably now the feeling, that cold and hot rush of adrenaline after you've typed "iptables-restore < new-ruleset" and didn't get to see the shell prompt again: you've just locked yourself out of a machine that’s potentially far away, and you feel like vandalism, or screaming on the top of your lungs, or whatever. I've had that feelings once too many and ended up writing iptables-apply[0] with a docbook manpage[1]. 0. http://svn.madduck.net/pub/sbin/base/iptables-apply 1. http://svn.madduck.net/pub/sbin/base/iptables-apply.dbk iptables-apply is a simple shell script which applies the new ruleset and then prompts whether you like it. If you've locked yourself out, you cannot answer the prompt, and if you don't, the script rolls back the ruleset. Nice and simple. Could this script possibly make it into the iptables distribution tarball? I am flexible about the licence and all...
