Yes this is the same exactly message i got.

I get this error when updating my firewall rules via ssh. Any current ssh

The only difference is that i could not su to root so i could not update any
rules remotely.
I could login to a normal user account properly though

Well actually i copied the following rules from /etc/rc.firewall plus the
comment (..because of the comment!) without thinking of it too much and i
consider them trusty and i never thought they could cause any problem.
Are you suggesting that these rules may be the reason for this?

# Only in rare cases do you want to change these rules
       ${addcmd} 50 allow all from any to any via lo0
       ${addcmd} 100 deny all from any to 127.0.0.0/8
       ${addcmd} 150 deny ip from 127.0.0.0/8 to any

Unfortunately i will not be on the machine for the next 7 or so hrs
