I tried what you suggested: On Mar 22, 2009, at 6:55 PM, Paul M wrote:
echo "kismet:x:777:777::/var/log/kismet:/bin/false" >> /etc/passwd pwconv
...but I don't seem to have a pwconv program either. I read up on the /etc/passwd file and apparantly the lower-case "x" tells the pwconv program that there is no password for that user. OK, I tried it both with and without the "x" with the same result. I have kismet.conf set up to write the capture files to the sd card, as /mnt/ card/kismet/ - this has always worked for me in the past, but now kismet fails trying to open the capture file with "Permission denied".
I tried to chmod 777 /mnt.card.kismet/ (as root) but I got "Operation not allowed" or something similar.
I would have thought that setting the User and Group permissions to "777" in /etc/passwd would give the kismet user all permissions in all files, but I guess not.
I'm stumped once again, and any help would be welcome.
