Error messge: "epcap: group does not exist: nogroup" #16

Closed josemic closed 10 years ago

josemic commented 10 years ago

With CentOS 6.5 the following error message occurs:

"epcap: group does not exist: nogroup"

Solution (as root): groupadd nogroup

This should be added to the Readme.

See the group option to epcap:start/1

epcap:start([{group,"nobody"}, ...])

Though I think the code should default to looking up the primary group of the user instead of hard coding it.
