Hello , Im new to snort, and Im trying to create a snort box that runs as a non root user. I have a user snort which is in the group snort_group. I have given the snort_group ownership to the /var/log/snort directory and the /etc/snort directory. whenever I try to start snort as any non root user I get the following. If I use root, or sudo I can start the program fine. Im guessing I need access to the eth0 interface or some particular file or directory somehwere that is associated with starting sniffing on eth0 Can someone help me with this? Suse 9 Snort 2.12 snort@Myserver:/etc/snort> snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -i eth0 -u snort -g snort_group Running in IDS mode Log directory = /var/log/snort Initializing Network Interface eth0 ERROR: OpenPcap() device eth0 open: socket: Operation not permitted Fatal Error, Quitting.. any help is appreciated.
