Hello, Sorry to bother everyone with this miniscule question. I am trying to figure out how to add temporary rules to pass traffic for a particular service?
What I am trying to do is set up a test ftp server for Internet customers to use on a controlled basis. A tech would run a command (via sudo running from a menu-driven script) and enable temporarily the IP address the customer resides on to test. The IP would stay open for x hours. I would then have a cron job reset the firewall rulesets to the default on a pre set time. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Matt
