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?

Log into Webmin

Go to Webmin --> Webmin Users

Click on root near the top

Expand Available Modules

Check Linux Firewall

Refresh Modules in the lower left corner.
