Hey all.

When I try to install iptables like it is listed below. I get the
following error:

error: cannot get exclusive lock on /var/lib/rpm/Packages
error: cannot open Packages index using db3 - Operation not permitted
(1)
error: cannot open Packages database in /var/lib/rpm

I am not logged in as root. I'll try that but thought I will post this
anyway. Thanks for the help. Hope everyone had a great weekend.

-Steve
