Subject: iptables from cgi script
Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 07:34:44 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <006401c328d9$701f0040$2c00a8c0@local.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: E04CF3F88ACBD5119EFE00508BBB212109A2CCC8@exch-01.noida.hcltech.com

I used to be able to list my rules via a cgi script but since moving to
redhat 9 (iptables 1.2.7a) it fails. The reson given is "can't initialize
iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root) Perhaps
iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded." which is absolutley accurate
(because I get this logging in as a local user and running /sbin/iptables -L
too) - but I need to know how to achieve this.
I tried altering the group on /sbin and /sbin/iptables and adding my local
user to that, but still it fails.

Am I missing something really obvious?  Either way, your assistance/advice
is welcome.

Thanks
