Set ethereal to be setuid root, change the permissions on /dev/bpf*, or start using sudo and grant permissions through the sudoers file. What ever you do here though, make sure that you conceder the implications. Letting just anyone sniff the network might not be the best idea. Sudo is probably the best approach. It gives you reasonably fine grain control over permissions. chris Robin Huiser writes: +--------------- | Hi! | | How can I grant permission to other users to use ethereal (network sniffer). | It seems that /dev/fxp0 doesn't exists! | | Please help! | | Greets -- Robin Huiser | | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message +--------------- __ Chris Fedde <cfedde@sendmail.com> 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
