Re: [Packetfence-devel] rawip error?

[Brad D. <da...@en...>]

It looks like some versions of NET-RAWIP may have had problems 
identifying that they were, in fact, running as root. See for example 
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2006/10/msg361876.html 
where the author suspects that gaining root access via "su -" was 
causing the same error message. Danny's solution may provide the fix for 
this.

Also, if your gaining root access via 'su' or some other mechanism you 
may want to try logging in directly as root. That being said, I have 
used the "su -" mechanism in the past without problems, I just don't 
have access to my PF box right now to double check.
