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

[hamouda]

yes I know about that but I'm trying to make it more secure and put
the nagios user in a "jail" but I don't know how to do it.
can u please tell me more about developping plugin for nagios to
administrate iptables because I just found a check_iptables plugin to
know the status of iptbales on a remote host.
Right I'm going to develop a perl script to manipulate the iptables
rules from the shell, then host the cgi script by an apache server to
test it. And then I look forward to add it as a plugin to nagios.
Is it doable??
Thx :)
Looking forward to your answer :)
