sudo fails with a permission denied error.
tmb@hp-debian:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4
bash: /etc/iptables/rules.v4: Permission denied

Root user works
tmb@hp-debian:~$ su -l
Password:

Root user with sudo
root@hp-debian:/home/tmb# sudo /usr/sbin/iptables-save >
/etc/iptables/rules.v4

Root user without sudo
root@hp-debian:/home/tmb# /usr/sbin/iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

Has anyone else had this problem?

Here is the exert from /etc/sudoers:

# User privilege specification
root    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
tmb    ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

Other than adding my username all other settings are default.

Other commands work with sudo.
