In /etc/sudoers I tried all the following:
%jhon ALL=(ALL) ALL
jhon ALL=(ALL) ALL
jhon ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/iptables
but i still have this error when I run iptables as jhon:
iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)
%jhon ALL=(ALL) ALL
jhon ALL=(ALL) ALL
jhon ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/iptables
but i still have this error when I run iptables as jhon:
iptables v1.2.9: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Permission denied (you must be root)

looks as if you need write permissions to .../filter, perhaps /etc/iptables/filter.
You could create a group 'iptables', add root and jhon to the iptables-group, and change owner (group) of the file to 'iptables', and set write permissions to the group.
