FreeBSD Device group
I've been doing a bit of network programming with pcap.h on my FreeBSD box and I want to alllow access to to raw sockets and devices without allowing root access. I make a group with Network access for the raw sockets, but i'm not sure what group FreeBSD uses and was wondering if anyone could help me out.
thanks kl365

There isn't a device group to open sockets. However, all *nixes won't let you create a listening socket with a port # below 1024, unless you have root privileges. Anyone can create ports above 1024, but below 1024, you'll need root privs.
Note that I said "listening socket". You can always connect to a socket that is already listening on a given port #, irrespective of your privileges.
