As a new member, I just want to say I've had great advice from this forum so far and you guys have been so helpful - so, thank you for that!
I have just set up Ubuntu server for the first time and, so far, it's doing everything I want it to do. It's only temporary and for a few students who need to perform a few simple tasks. Once of the tasks include demonstrating how to use traceroute. I've installed traceroute and, due to some firewall issue, the only way I can get it to work properly is to use the -I parameter. However, a normal user can't use the -I parameter and I don't particularly want to give the users full superuser permissions to do so. Is there a way I can give the users this particular permission but nothing else?
Once I've done that, I'll be ready to go. Everything has gone well so far!
