Re: How to run automatically a script as soon root login



I think I have found my way,adding this line to /etc/sudoers :

marietto ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/iptables

and on the warp script :

sudo /usr/bin/iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -s 192.168.1.5 -j MASQUERADE

Unless the directory has the sticky bit set (e.g. /tmp).

(For completeness: I know you know that).
