Hi all!

How can I do that a simple user to see the iwconfig's full output (as root)?

User:
 $ /sbin/iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11  Nickname:""
          Access Point: Not-Associated
          Link Quality:5  Signal level:213  Noise level:168
          Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:4867  invalid misc:0

Root:
$ /sbin/iwconfig wlan0
wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:"linksys"  Nickname:""
          Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: 00:1D:7E:C6:FC:69
          Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power:32 dBm
          Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Managementmode:All packets received
          Link Quality=5/5  Signal level=-44 dBm  Noise level=-86 dBm
          Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:4867  Rx invalid frag:0
          Tx excessive retries:10359  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

Thanks!

  Zsolt

adding user to proc user group should be enought.

Hi all!

When I want to run wicd-curses, the following appears:

$ LC_ALL=C wicd-curses
Can't connect to the daemon, trying to start it automatically...
Traceback (most recent call last):

$ service wicd restart

After restart I have similar error.

$ ps aux | grep -i wicd

Do you have any idea, what's wrong?

Hm, good idea :)
http://pastebin.com/zHuf6kgm

I think, here is the problem (line 85-93):
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWNWID, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EOPNOTSUPP (Operation not
supported)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWFREQ, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWENCODE, 0xbfda570c)     = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWESSID, 0xbfda570c)      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWMODE, 0xbfda570c)       = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
ioctl(3, SIOCGIWRANGE, 0xbfda570c)      = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)

But I don't know what it means ("Operation not permitted" - understand ;))...
