Package: etherape Version: 0.9.13-1+b1 Severity: wishlist Command etherape cannot work out of the box for unprivileged users.
There is an etherape-root.desktop menu entry that runs: Exec=su-to-root -X -c /usr/bin/etherape However I do not like running X11 applications as root and I'd very much do without using the superuser's (or even my user's) password as much as possible. I noticed that assigning the NET_RAW capabilities to the /usr/bin/etherape executable makes it work for underprivileged users: # setcap CAP_NET_RAW=pe /usr/bin/etherape I would like very much to see this setting become the default on Debian installations. Installed etherape on an amd64 machine. OS is actually Devuan 2.0 Ascii, which pulls the etherape package straight from Debian. Running a custom 4.9.125 kernel. -- Alessandro Selli <alessandrose...@linux.com> VOIP SIP: dhatarat...@ekiga.net Chiave firma e cifratura PGP/GPG signing and encoding key: BA651E4050DDFC31E17384BABCE7BD1A1B0DF2AE
