Hello list!
I want to build a browser based iptables administration gui. My intention is to store the rules in a MySQL database and activate the new rules by clicking "submit changes".
So I will need a daemon/tool which surveys changes in the database and generates the new iptables commands. To activate the new rools this daemon/tool must run with root privileges!!
Is there an "easy" why to do this with RoR/ruby?
thanx.
