I have checked the permissions and group stuff, all appears Ok, it I run it as root, it takes off just fine, but if I run it as a non-root user I get this error: socket: Operation not permitted I have done some looking and see something to the effect that tcpdump must be run as root or you get the same error, is this true of listen also? Indeed I wanted to set up listen so I could have a log in directly to a listen session so I could just log in remotely and observe the goings on's on the different ports of the switch. (Has high speed internet connection so there is not problem there) Again I can ssh into the box as root and start a listen session just fine, but as anything else I get the above infamous error. -- Chuck Hast To paraphrase my flight instructor; "the only dumb question is the one you DID NOT ask resulting in my going out and having to identify your bits and pieces in the midst of torn and twisted metal."
