 |
|
Hi,
it's impossible for me to start kismet_server cause i obtain
| Code: |
# kismet_server
FATAL: Could not find user 'your_user_here' for dropping priviledges. Make sure you have a valid user set for 'suiduser' in your config file. See the 'Installation & Security' and 'Configuration' sections of the README file for more information.
|
my /etc/conf.d/kismet file:
| Code: |
# ATTENTION: most of the kismet configuration is still done in
# /etc/kismet.conf
# To use the kismet init script, you must have "logtemplate" set to a location
# that is writable by the user assigned by "suiduser".
# e.g.
suiduser=pippo
# logtemplate=%h/kismet_log/%n-%d-%i.%l
logtemplate=%n-%d-%i.%l
source=generic,eth1,generic
# Set WIFI_DEV to the device to be used by the kismet server.
# This device must have the ability to do monitor mode
WIFI_DEV="eth1"
|
# lspci
| Code: |

make sure you are running kismet as root, and you are in that user's home directory in which you spedified in that file.
| Code: | cd /home/pippo
kismet |
And besure there really is a user on your box called pippo. (that's the account you specified right?)
Hope that helps!
lemme know if it doesn't
