agent.host.iptables=true doesn't work w/ helm chart deployment

[jkroepke]

Hi,

today i tried kiam first time using the helm chart.

I'm using the 5.9.0 version, but the 5.10 is affected, too.

After setting agent.host.iptables=true, the agents did not start anymore:

System Info:

• Kubernetes 1.19.4
• cri-o 1.19
• Ubuntu 20.04

Kubernetes was setup with kubeadm, no special security rules applied. SELinux is not available on Ubuntu.

What did I do wrong? Do I miss something?

This is the root cause: iptables v1.8.3 (legacy): can't initialize iptables table nat': Permission denied (you must be root)` ?

Sure, the chart miss some settings
