hi larry, it is hard to imagine for what reason you would want to have apache be able to su to root -- this could/would spell disaster in a production environment and should be discouraged. iptables access from a non-root user as well is exceptionally dangerous -- one command could render the network inoperable.
apache has very robust security, so you should attempt your project within the confines of apache. curious what exactly you have in mind ... cheers christopher cuse -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Larry Brown Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 5:02 AM To: Redhat Subject: iptables access Is anyone familiar with the possibility of running iptables commands as a non-root user? I am trying to execute commands from a web page without running apache as root or going through reconfiguration of apache to allow it to su root. It seems it would be easier to be able to allow a user access to iptables commands. Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc.
