Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ettercap
When I uncomment this chain :
# if you use iptables:
#redir_command_on = "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i %iface -p tcp --dport
%port -j REDIRECT --to-port %rport"
#redir_command_off = "iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i %iface -p tcp --dport
%port -j REDIRECT --to-port %rport"
Ettercap doesn't seem to work well.
I get this message
iptables v1.3.8: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Permission denied (you
must be root)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
I found a solution that works by changing ec_uid to equal 0 :
[privs]
ec_uid = 65534 # nobody is the default
ec_gid = 65534 # nobody is the default
Like this :
[privs]
ec_uid = 0 # nobody is the default
ec_gid = 65534 # nobody is the default
I use Ubuntu 9.04 and the ettercap package comes from the official
repository.
Thx
