resp and root

[Paul Schmehl <pauls () utdallas edu>]

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?
