I *think* (without too much knowledge
of an IPX networking) that this is
possible.
I have traced the IPXOpenSocket()
and the only place which fails without
root is setting SO_DEBUG opt to
socket which is used only for
debugging and must not fail, so it's
a bug.
For everything else root doesn't
seem to be required.
I started doom's ipxsetup and it
doesn't complain, log indicates
that packets are floating OK.
So I think IPX must work without
root.
And if not, Grigory or Reinhard,
please apply the attached patch
and produce a -D9+n log and also
cat /proc/net/ipx_interface
