The question is; am I stuffed?

I changed the port number in /etc/ssh/sshd_confg and I ran service sshd reload but before I could update the iptables I lost the connection (my power tripped).

So it seems that I can't get in. Is there any way to fix this without recovering from the back up?

P.S. How do I restore from the back up that I made using the guidelines of the wiki article ?

LISH!

Or the AJAX console (if you want to die a slow death of boredom)

I went into my linode account and saw a tab called console. Then clicked on the Launch Console.

But I'll look into the LISH thingy shortly.

It is the same thing. LISH is just a way for you to use your favorite ssh client instead of the web console. The web console is ajaxterm'd into the LISH console.
