With iptables in CentOS 5 and 6 Linux - how can you please prevent processes running as root, apache or nobody from initiating outgoing connections?
On CentOS 5 Linux I've tried putting these lines into /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
-A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner root -j DROP
-A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner apache -j DROP
-A OUTPUT -m owner --uid-owner nobody -j DROP
but unfortunately get the error:
# sudo service iptables restart
iptables: Flushing firewall rules: [ OK ]
iptables: Setting chains to policy ACCEPT: filter [ OK ]
iptables: Unloading modules: [ OK ]
iptables: Applying firewall rules: iptables-restore v1.4.7: owner: Bad value for "--uid-owner" option: "apache"
Error occurred at line: 27
Try `iptables-restore -h' or 'iptables-restore --help' for more information.
