Hmmm, you better respond directly as my Interchange email is delivered to
my now failing email address.
This works:

This guide is very nice to have, as well as what Jon has offered. I'm sure
I'll be back up before too long.
I have been following your guide, however, I could not get my user to login
without a password, but 'curt' is setup in the wheel group and I got this
far:
$ sudo yum -y install iptables wget
. Note: if you mess up when setting your iptables rules and manage to
block your own access to the server, then follow these directions to get
your ssh access back:
[snip some info stuff]
# service iptables stop # exit
o iptables will now be turned off and you should be able to log back
in via ssh.
. I recommend that you put all your iptables rules in a shell script
and run that script to update the rules. You can download and edit the basic
script that I use to setup iptables.
$ cd
$ wget http://github.com/pajamian/stuff/raw/master/centos/iptables_cfg.sh
$ chmod 700 iptables_cfg.sh
$ vi iptables_cfg.sh
. Make any changes you want. The default configuration is to allow
pings, ssh and http(s).
$ sudo ./iptables_cfg.sh
. Make sure you can still log in via ssh (but *don't* close your
current ssh connection until you do!)
Well, I can't login with SSH any longer or into my DirectAdmin console on
port 2222, my email is all down, http is up, and I do have an open SSH
console. I checked my access via SSH until just before that last command.
I've googled about but not sure what I'm looking for, can you help me get
back up? I didn't make any changes to iptables_cfg.sh. I tried to swap out
iptables.save, re-run sudo ./iptables_cfg.sh, tried stoping then starting as
root, and then swapped them back when no luck. I'm sure I was the correct
user/root for these tasks as well.
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...

Thank you very much!
