So, I've been following this thread, and all I can think of as I've seen it evolve is "this is the sure-fire path to completely locking yourself out of your machine."

Remote firewall maintenance, unless you're ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY sure about what you're doing, is risky. Once you lock yourself out, you're screwed.

Really?  I used to do it all the time.

The trick is to have a known good set of firewall rules.

iptables <new stuff>; sleep 60; iptables <known good>

If you can't abort it, the old rules come back online.
