[OpenSIPS-Users] calling external command with sudo

[Dragomir Haralambiev]

I am pretty sure sudo is configured properly, because if I run "sudo
iptables ....." from the command prompt while logged as opensips user, it
works fine.

Here is what I have in /etc/sudoers:

opensips        ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: /sbin/iptables

opensips process runs as 'opensips'
