Here is the permissions, same on both boxes, is there another place I should
be checking?

Subject: iptables: permission denied on voyage0.1pre3


I am trying to get the nocat gateway installed on a read-only flash distro
called Voyage (based on pebble - http://voyage.hk/software/voyage.html).  I
took the installed nocat-nightly files from my old pebble install and copied
them to the new voyage install on the cf card in the same spot.  This is the
older nocatauth and not nocatsplash.
 
I then created a nocat user with the following command:
adduser nocat -d /usr/local/nocat -s /bin/false -u 106  
These settings were used to match the nocat user that was on the pebble
install
 
I changed ownership of all files in /usr/local/nocat/bin to root:root
 
I try to run /usr/local/nocat/bin/gateway logged in as root and I get the
following:
 
system:~# /usr/local/nocat/bin/gateway
[2005-01-18 18:38:09] Resetting firewall.
iptables: Permission denied
(the above line repeated 45 times, I chopped it for space)
[2005-01-18 18:38:10] Binding listener socket to  0.0.0.0
system:~#

What am I doing wrong?  It (obviously) looks like a permissions issue but I
can't seem to find the culprit.
