Hi all, I've had a dig around on the forums about this and it was suggested to use 'sudo'. Well I have done this, I need to call tcpdump so I can sniff the traffic and find the url's, I've modified my sudoers file so that for this exe only I need no password. This seems to be the best way since the program only runs the tcpdump command as root (which incidently has a switch that allows you to drop root privs once it's started) I want to distribute the program once it's finished so it means explaining this (sudo bit) in the install instructions.
Is this a good / bad way to achieve this? BTW I use Ubuntu which uses sudo by default however anyone might use it. Thanks in advance, Wayne.
