You need to run the program as root or do a suid on the program.

Greetings all,


I just installed the rpm for MTR and did not receive any errors.  I am
running Mandrake 6.0 which fully supports RPM packages.  I can run the
proggie fine as root but get the following error when I run it as a
normal user :


mtr: Unable to get raw socket.  (Executable not suid?)


I also installed the gtk RPM which installs "xmtr" and all accounts
can run that fine.


Any ideas or suggestions on why I am unable to run the command line
version and what the above error is telling me to fix?


Thanks,
Michael
