Maybe I did say this in the wrong way.. No way I want a user to change the IPTABLE Rules..that would be ..ahem..CRAZY! Anyways what I really wanted was something that I can use more like a benchmark which would read packet inputs from a text-file....which was computationally like the original netfilter..and would be free from the networking stack and linux kernel hooks. This would be a standalone benchmark that could be compiled onto different architectures (embedded) for performance metrics etc.. There..I hope I am clear now :| Cheers Learner! --- misiu_@xxxxxx wrote: > Hi, > > you can use fwbuilder and sudo... > so a normal user can use tables > or did i miss something? > > > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]Im > Auftrag von > Rakotomandimby Mihamina > Gesendet: Samstag, 17.
