Re: [Devil-Linux-discuss] OT: give access to iptraf to local user

Iptraf is purposely set up not to permit non-root acccess.=20

You could set suid on iptraf, although that would hardly be ideal since=20

1) it is a security risk (small if you trust the user)

2) you will have to recompile iptraf setting the DALLOWUSERS option=20

Subject: [Devil-Linux-discuss] OT: give access to iptraf to local user

Hi all,

I would like to give access to iptraf to a local user, but nothing more. =
I tried to give him "/usr/sbin/iptraf" as a login shell, but that fails =
with:

This program can be run only by the system administrator

How would you tackle this? I dont want to give shell access to the user, =
nor physical access to the console.

Thanks a lot for your input,

Frank Weis
