I am half a world away from my console. If I make a mistake entering my PF rules, I could lock myself out. It would be nice if I had a script I could activate by cron that automatically flushed out my rc.conf that I'm experimenting with and loaded the original. That way, I could set the cron, load my experimental rc.conf, reboot and see if I could still connect to my box. If I couldn't, then all I'd have to do is wait a few minutes and then I could try again. Surely I'm not the first person to have thought of this. Anyone have a script that does this?
I do this by having a screen session running, and a known-good pf.conf.safe: # pfctl -f pf.conf && sleep 60 && pfctl -f pf.conf.safe Then I detach my screen and try to login again, or test whatever I wanted to. If it's all good and I haven't locked myself out, I just have to get back into screen before 60 seconds pass and hit ^C. If I don't do that in time, it'll load my safe ruleset. /JMS _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-pf To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
