Re: Running IPTables as non-root user? (SOLVED)

[breno.moiana@partekforest.com]

Thank you all for the help!

Sudo will do it just fine! All I had to do was to use the visudo command in
order to edit the /etc/sudoers file, adding the following line:

      myuser   ALL=/sbin/iptables

With this, when, as that user, I call

      [myuser@BR_FW01 etc]$ sudo /sbin/iptables -L

I get the expected output.

I had heard of sudo before, but had no idea on what it did.
Very nice! thanks for the help!!

Regards,
