[smokeping-users] smoketrace bad packet length value

[Pete Hoffswell]

I receive the bad packet error as well, on a new trace installation.

Further research, based on Tobi's thoughts shows:

server:~ # sudo -u wwwrun traceroute -I eth0 www.yahoo.com 
traceroute to www.yahoo.com (209.191.93.52), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 
Unable to bind to network interface eth0: Operation not permitted 
server:~ #  


Thing is I'm not sure how to fix that permissions problem.


How do I get my wwwrun web user to run traceroute -I?
