Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I have to change rather complex iptables rules on server |
4 |
and I do not want to lock me out as this server is about |
5 |
50 miles away. So how should I do it? |
6 |
|
7 |
I can back up the old rules by running: |
8 |
/etc/init.d/iptables save |
9 |
and it will be saved to /var/lib/iptables/rules-save |
10 |
(some strange format starting with number like [536:119208]) |
11 |
|
12 |
I prepared a script with new (modified) iptables-rules, |
13 |
which I will run in bash. But in case I screw something, |
14 |
how could I force netfilter to load old saved rules, |
15 |
if I for whatever reason do not connect to server (ssh)? |
16 |
|
17 |
Or can I load new iptables-rules for certain time, and |
18 |
then force netfilter to load back the old rules again? |
