Has anyone been able to use the tethereal command on the S8xx0 server without root rights? With the sudo command it is also not working.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I believe you need to be sroot, unless you are on a sip server.
In a sip server the alias below shows using sudo
alias tethereal='/usr/bin/sudo /usr/sbin/tethereal'
Have you tried? "/usr/bin/tethereal"
What error is returned?
What CM version?

Hi,
When we do it on a CM 4.x system we receive the error without sudo:
dadmin@S8720-2> tethereal
-bash: tethereal: command not found
When we do it with sudo we receive the following but don't know the correct password. Is this a default one?
We have also tried it with /usr/sbin/tethereal but receive the same fault like below:
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.

in the linux world the sudo password is usually the password of the user you are logged in as.
so If I am logged in as pete and I run 'sudo tethereal' I would enter pete's password at the sudo password prompt.
the user must have access to the command in the sudo configuration (/etc/sudoers).
I tried this on my system and I do not have access to tethereal through sudo and I have not yet figured out how to edit /etc/sudoers. Maybe someone else can chime in with that info...

Pete, thanks for your answer. I thing the only way is with the password, but Avaya won't give this to us.

On the Avaya systems the "sudo command" allows access to commands that normally only sroot login can do.
sudoers file allows some logins access to some commands via command line with sudo and no password is asked for.
example would be "sudo ftpserv on" should work, not ask for password and would fail for user if the "sudo" was left off.
Many things that can be done via web browser use sudo in the background.
The system that Petebull tried this on does not restrict the access to /usr/sbin/tethereal.. but the system configuration does not have a use for that command. He may have a newer CM version of software.
You could try uploading a compiled version of tethereal that will run on the linux kernal and put it in /var/home/defty and try to run it from there.
You would have to get a version that's already compiled for your linux.
Older systems may restrict usage because of size of output files or processor runtime issues.
