Hi all,

regards setting up ipchain rules and testing them i stumbled across this 
little script that allows you to run the rules for x amount of seconds for 
testing before turning them off.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
# **** script to test firewall rules - MJM: 2002 ****
# **** Add this to the end of the 'start' portion of the pmfirewall script
# **** Make sure you remove the ;; on the line above or script will not run

# disable after $TTF seconds.
# give TTF an integer value above 0 or this script is USELESS!
        TTF=120
        if test $TTF -gt 0
        then
              echo "Firewall rules running for $TTF seconds"
              (sleep $TTF;
                /etc/rc.d/init.d/pmfirewall stop \
               ) &
        else
                  echo "firewall rules running for ever"
        fi
        echo "                  Done!"
        echo ""
        echo "" ;;
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Set TTF (time to flush) to something like 120 ( 2 minutes )
This gives us a bit of time to test the firewall, once we are sure it is 
working set TTF to 0
and start the firewall

( if get 'syntax error near unexpected token 'TTF=120', have not deleted the 
double semi colons from line above )

Hope this helps..

Regards

Marcus
