{bb} BB and iptables firewall

[Hyder Anwar <hyder.anwar@gmail.com>]

When I turn on the iptables firewall, do I have to enable rules for
the INPUT policy to accept traffic from the ports that I am monitoring
(Example Allow incoming SSH from the machines that I am testing for
the machines?).
Secondly, which port do I open for the connectivity test? I thought
that it was a simple ping for the connectivity test, but when I create
a rule to allow all icmp from anywhere, the connectivity test goes to
purple.

Thanks in advance
