OK, here's a wierd question from one of my clients...

He's working in a lab environment where he's testing traffic with a few
other people in an isolated environment.

He needs for general users to run a program that makes socket calls
usually reserved for root.

So I had him chmod 4755 the binary.  This works as a temperary solution,
but as it is this binary they are working on, it would require all the
users to have sudo and that would defeat the purpose.

So... He suggested that we chmod the *interface* device.  AKA, eth1.
Might work.  But, in RH7.3, I can't locate the device name in /dev for
eth1!

Any ideas here?

(Yes, I am well aware of the myriad of security concerns that might be
involved here, as well as several that I am wary about.  Eth1 goes to an
isolated network and the machine (eth0) is behind a firewall and two
routers with several other security measures in place. )
