Using posix file capabilties you can give wine only root permissions for creating raw sockets. A lot of distributions are doing something similar these days for ping which also required complete root permissions before.

I would think that IPX should not require Raw sockets, but probably a IPX socket (since it seem to be a supported protocol in the kernel)? <rant>Why IPX requires root while IP doesn't, does not seem to make sense... It seems to be just a nother socket type... http://linux.die.net/man/2/socket </rant> Gert
