Hi,
why dont you use ...
iptables-save | grep "\-A" | wc -l
grep ^-A
But the foremost question is: how is the rule count alone going to be
useful?
I dont think its useful at all - I just like stats and wanted to help ;)
Especially with OP's requirement to allow non-root users to view this count.
Therefore know that/when you changed something.
you can swap the whole ruleset, as long as the total count of rules
stays the same, this test won't detect it, therefore is totally
unreliable. Nothing but stats, yes.
