Thread: Lock Network Settings Only

ok, have ubuntu 12.04 system has single user. need lock network settings, dns settings, being changed user while still allowing them other root permissions. i'm setting opendns on content blocking , don't want able change dns settings once they're set. want set on computer rather router because laptop , don't want able carry off in search of wifi bypass filtering. possible?

realize i'll need create separate administrator account full root access don't have password to, that's fine. looks sudoers file need change i'm not sure what settings use , man sudo written in arcane form of geek i'm not quite familiar with. initial google searches revealed single web page hinted done, didn't tell me how it, google-fu weak. suggestions?

if user has other root privileges, what's stopping him becoming root , doing whatever wants? have restrict root (which ridiculous , impossible).

code:

limiteduser@ubuntu:~$ sudo su password: root@ubuntu:#

now can whatever wants dns settings.
