And running Wine as root is a bad idea. Fortunately newer versions of Linux allow granular permission control to grant only required permissions to specified files. To allow Wine opening raw sockets run this command: sudo setcap cap_net_raw+epi /usr/bin/wine-preloader --- Is it better to make the err message like below ?
