For Linux Firewall Users
For most Linux distributions, to get the correct firewall settings by default, the program needs to be run as root. This is obviously a bad idea. Here's is one potetial solution:
sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/ufwstatus
# Then add the following to that file:
# We need to add the "full" command as alias:
Cmnd_Alias UFWSTATUS = /usr/sbin/ufw status
# Group privilege specification
%ufwstatus ALL=NOPASSWD: UFWSTATUS
Now run:
# Add new group: "ufwstatus"
sudo groupadd -r ufwstatus
# Add the username (here "xxxx") to the "ufwstatus" group
sudo gpasswd --add xxxx ufwstatus
# We add all "root" user sbin paths for convenience
