firewall not accesable for root in Webmin

Post by doggy101 »

Hi All,

trying to configure the IPtables firewall within webmin for additional security.

When I add the module IP tables i get "Access denied : User root is not allowed to use the Linux Firewall module"

does anybody know where to fix that?
