    Through some freak accident, I somehow pasted by terminal's entire contents into itself, which included the login welcome message. You know, the one that says, "DO NOT run the below command or you will lock yourself out of the server:" and then it conveniently puts that command on its own line. Thus, my freak accident somehow did run "iptables -F" on my server and locked me out.

    So I know it's a little weird, but I suggest moving that command in line with other text, or else starting that line with "#" so that if someone somehow accidentally copies and pastes that line, they won't run the evil command.

    whoops - yes looks like I should comment it out to prevent copy and paste boo-boos :)

    just updated 123.09beta01 with the change so you can update your centmin mod install via cmupdate command

    Upgrading Centmin Mod Code to Latest Version



    Getting Started Guide step 19 outlines also how to keep Centmin Mod code updated or how to switch version branches or you can run cmupdate command that was recently added.

    For 123.09beta01 and higher that means running SSH command = cmupdate and then re-enter /usr/local/src/centminmod and re-run centmin.sh menu.

    For full details read the following links:

    Fantastic!

    I still don't know how I managed to paste my terminal's entire output.

    Since CSF was restarted, is there anything I should do to undo what iptables -F did?

    CSF restart should take care everything and repopulate the rules needed for your access.
