I would STRONGLY urge you not to use any script for your security.
Scripts are basically black boxes. You can't rely on a black box. You have
to know about security.
I would learn to set up some ipchains rules, or get a set of rules from
somewhere, and then edit them with vi or some simple editor which won't try
to mess them up to much with inserting line feeds and such.
The commands:
ipchains-save > myrules
vi myrules
ipchains -F
cat myrules | ipchains-restore -f
are all that you need to do.
(Oh yes. You can't do this on a telnet connection. ipchains -F closes down my
firewall since I have all defaults as deny.)
This method is all I have used for serveral years to keep my firewall working just
fine.
