Yes, that would be me. But someone taught me a great trick...the "at" command. So, just before you blow away your access with changes to ipfw, do this:


echo "ipfw add 1 pass all from any to any" at now +10 minutes

Then if all goes OK, use atq to remove the queue item. If not, wait 10 minutes...

Why not just include an allow rule for a handful of management addresses in set 31? That's been pretty close to idiot-proof for me, and has definitely saved my bacon.
