changing permissions of eth1
 

Hello,

I often run "gulp", a networking utility, to capture data from an instrument on "eth1". By default gulp must be run as root to have access to the ethernet port, and when I'm the only one running it, that's fine. But I need to let several other users to capture data and don't want to give them all sudo permissions for both gulp, and more importantly, 'chmod'.
Is there anyway to change the permissions of eth1 to allow all users to open it and avoid sudo entirely? This is on a Red Hat/Fedora machine.

Thanks,
Laura

Allowing a specific group of users sudo access for just the "gulp" binary seems like it would be considerably more secure then changing permissions on a system device.
