Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: guessnet

Guessnet 0.42-1 requires root privileges. According to the debian bugs,
this was supposed to be fixed in debian version 0.26-1:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=224910

Running as non-root user fails with this message:

$> cat /dev/null | guessnet -i eth0
libnet_init(): UID or EUID of 0 required
. Context: opening link interface
You can try invoking guessnet as user root instead of currentuser
