resp and root

Has anyone found a different way to open a raw socket through libnet other than running snort as root? I want to try tcp resets, but I'm not to keen on running snort as root. Any wrapper scripts that could be used for this purpose? Is there any consideration for getting snort to start as root and the drop privileges after it has the socket open? -- Paul Schmehl (pauls () utdallas edu) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/~pauls/ AVIEN Founding Member ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
