mclovin you need to learn about Linux security. Really Root on Linux does not exist as most people think. Root is basically a construct nothing more. Root = Normal User + POSIX capabilities permissions. If your kernel has posix file capabilities give wine assign CAP_NET_RAW permission to wine. There is less security risk this way. Every segment of the powers that root has can be turned on 1 at a time for a program if you know how. Reason why I go threw people for even running wine as root on a Linux box ever. Other ways of using posix file capabilities have existed since 2.2 Linux Kernel.
