Hi all,

I have a small problem on one of my dev boxes. I have a bod bootup ipfw 
rulset and I find myself locked out of the machine.

There will be a technician at the NOC on Tuesday that will be able to assist 
me.

My question is: Will he/she be able to simply reboot, logon as root as 
normal?

 - and then -

disable IPFW in rc.conf ... or will the loopback rule not being present 
cause more mahem than I think it will?

-Grant
