KSnuffle is available via the KSnuffle home page. It is available as source; binary and source RPMs may be forthcoming.
KSnuffle-0.2 has been built on RedHat Linux 5.2 with the 1.1.1 release of KDE using Qt version 1.42. It may or may not build or run properly with other versions. As noted in the caveats section, it relies on libpcap-0.4, and operates outside the defined API; I am only able to test this for Linux.
For the source version, just type
% ./configure % make % make install
(the latter as root).
For the RPM version
% rpm -ihv ksnuffle-0.2.rpm
If KSnuffle is installed as a setuid-root program, then, when run by root, it can be configured to allow other non-root users to monitor the network. If it not installed seetuid-root, then only root can use it.
If this facility is required, use the comnmand chmod ug+s ksnuffle on the installed program. Alternatively, run KSnuffle as root and use the control on the Global Setup page.
Again, I can only verify this function on Linux.
