Greetings,
This may be slightly off the normal threads found on this list, however, it
may still be relevant to others in the same situation.
What is the typical rationale behind who can make changes to the firewall
rules? Should unqualified or under-qualified people be allowed access?
Please allow me to clarify the question by citing an example.
There are three of us where I work, and I am the on who is "most
knowledgeable" when it comes to the firewall. It should also be noted that
we are running a Linux based firewall. I have had to set up the rules so
that the masquerading rules decide which machines have access to the
Internet. I also have had to set up scripts so that either of the other
two can add machines to the masquerading rules. Since neither of the two
fully understand how to manipulate the rules I get concerned when they
arbitrarily run them. Mind you, I am _NOT_ the one in charge here either,
so my hands are mostly tied (if you know what I mean).
Any thoughts?
