[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??
