Summary: ICMP Calls from programs crashes wine when not running as ROOT Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: wine-net AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.com ReportedBy: chris@kfdm.com
Application: TVSCAN (Omega32) from marketron (www.marketron.com).
Problem:
When running the application from any normal user, the error message
"WARNING: Trying to use ICMP (network ping) will fail unless running as root"
appears and causes wine to drop into the debugger.
When I run the application as ROOT, then I do not get the error (using the same configuration files as the user account).
If I then set the wine executables to suid ROOT, then wine will not run as a user because the /tmp/.wine-{user}/{server #}/socket does not belong to the user account (it is set as root/root owner/group).
This means that to run this application, the user must be logged in as root.
