           Summary: ICMP Calls from programs crashes wine when not running
                    as ROOT
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: wine-net
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.com
        ReportedBy: chris at kfdm.com


Application: TVSCAN (Omega32) from marketron (www.marketron.com).

Problem:

When running the application from any normal user, the error message

"WARNING: Trying to use ICMP (network ping) will fail unless running as root"

appears and causes wine to drop into the debugger.

When I run the application as ROOT, then I do not get the error (using the same
configuration files as the user account).

If I then set the wine executables to suid ROOT, then wine will not run as a
user because the /tmp/.wine-{user}/{server #}/socket does not belong to the user
account (it is set as root/root owner/group).

This means that to run this application, the user must be logged in as root.
