Very good idea. I actually had ssh crash and had to physically drive to the data center once... very annoying

I got a good tip from him, in regards to setting up a cron job while building your firewall remotely. Have the cron job reset the firewall rules every 30 minutes back to open. That way, if you accidentally lock yourself out by forgetting to open a port, it will reset in 30 minutes and you can get back in. I do almost all of my setups remotely, so this was a great tip. Saved me from having to drive to the office/another state to unbork a box. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
