I have been googling for this and haven't found it. I know I have seen it before and thought that it was an iptables command and not a separate script, but I can't remember as it has been a while since I have seen it. What I want to do is to open a port on the firewall with iptables for a set time, like 5 hours and then after 5 hours, it will close the port again. Can anybody point me in the right direction, or if it is a command of iptables, maybe post that for me? We have a system that is locked down and you have to use a key to get ssh access to it. We have employees and customers that are on dynamic IP's that keep switching. They don't have root access. What I am trying to do is create a script that they can log into and it will get their current IP address and open the firewall for a specified length of time. Once open, they would still have to use their public/private key to ssh into it. I agree this isn't perfect, but it is better than just leaving that port open to the world all the time.
