sudo fails with a permission denied error.
tmb@hp-debian:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
bash: /etc/iptables/rules.v4: Permission denied
Root user works
tmb@hp-debian:~$ su -l
Password:
Root user with sudo
root@hp-debian:/home/tmb# sudo /usr/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
Root user without sudo
root@hp-debian:/home/tmb# /usr/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
Has anyone else had this problem?
Here is the exert from /etc/sudoers:
# User privilege specification
root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
tmb ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
Other than adding my username all other settings are default.
Other commands work with sudo.
