Re: [Ethereal-users] Mandrake 7.2 and Ethereal User Privliges

John,

I guess I forgot to supply all of the information in my original post. I 
can start the program and it will load and read captured data from file ok. 
The problem is it complains about permissions when I try to capture in real 
time from my eth0 port "(socket: Operation not permitted)". Being on a 
cable modem isp, there are all sorts of weird traffic on the net that I 
like to watch but don't want to be logged in as root all of the time.

regards palmer
