I was not able to SSH into the box until after I run the firewall.sh script (I have it set up so that SSH is on a different port). Once I run the firewall.sh script, I can SSH just like normal. I've been running Google searches, but they so far have not helped. They give me the same commands (service iptables save or /etc/init.d/iptables save). Any advice on this one? Thanks, Scott
