Package: dublin-traceroute Version: 0.4.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Dear Maintainer,
It is possible to run this without root by first running: $ sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip /usr/bin/dublin-traceroute However this carries its own issues - i.e. all users can then run it with these capabilities, which might be unsafe. Please see the wireshark-common package for their solution which is to set this cap but also restrict execution to users of a particular group.
