Sure, edit /etc/passwd and set their userid to 0. But then you ARE root. Look, you can't have it both ways. Linux/*BSD/OS X/Solaris/etc require you to be root in order to send raw frames (well BSD you can work around it by changing the perms on the /dev/bpf devices). So you either run tcpreplay as root (via su, sudo, etc) or you hack your kernel to remove this restriction. -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Windows They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. -- Benjamin Franklin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Tcpreplay-users mailing list Tcpreplay-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tcpreplay-users Support Information: http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/trac/wiki/Support
