[Kamailio-Users] sipgrep as non-privileged user

Hi,

I am using sipgrep to do sip traces on an openser/asterisk. I am find this great for getting readable traces - previously ngrep was difficult to read.

However, to use sipgrep, I need to be logged in as the linux root user. I can change the PATH of an admin user so that they can have access to the command but they cannot use it as they need to be root in order to gain access to see the network traffic. Does anyone know of a way to do this? Is it normal to have engineers continually log in as root to take these traces - it seems awful dangerous? I know you could log in as a non-prileged user and put in sudo sipgrep -f xxx -t xxx, but not sure if people are actually doing this in production systems, or have a workaround?

Thanks

Robert
