[Nagiosplug-devel] Iptables,snort,acid,clamav,nessus,osiris

[hamouda]

 I think that developping a plugin to setup iptables through nagios
 can't be done because :
 first : nagios runs as the user nagios which has not a root
 privileges to modify iptables
 second : the nagios plugins returns a significant code between 0 and 3
 wich indicates the state of the service
 third : nagios is meant to be for monitoring and nothing else.
 any other ideas ?
 Am I mistaken??
