I haven't had a chance to test it. I'm on an internal pen test. Right now its 3 am and I'm working on a report YUCK!
I can test it when I get home this weekend and get you some feedback. Will that work?

We are investigating this problem." My etter.conf has the ec_uid & gid set to 0 and the proper iptables redirs uncommented. I have experienced this issue with ettercap installs from both the Ubuntu repos & compiling from source. ulimit is set to unlimited: root@blank:~# ulimit -Ha core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 20 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16382 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) unlimited cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) unlimited virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited As a workaround I set my max threads to 123,456,789 up from 39K. It still ran out of resources after about 15 minutes. I am not a developer, but in reading up on pthreads, it looks like you have to specify "joinable" if you use pthread_join and the code does not appear to do this. However, I know nothing about pthreads and am still learning the basics of C.
