Hi,

i would like to give access to iptables to one user in my system.

Is it possible and how to setup my system to allow it ?

have you checked doing it with sudo? I think you can set what user can
execute a given command (iptables in this case).

you sure can give away the farm if you wish, either hand-off the root 
password or setup sudo.  Is this a wise thing to do, in most cases, no...

Hi,

out of pure curiousity, why would you like to give a _user_ access to 
iptables? You give him access to "manipulate" everything.
