promiscuous mode

fingscan causes this message to appear in Console every minute.
Why? Is this of concern? How can this be turned off?

Re: promiscuous mode

This is when fing listens to the incoming network traffic.
Fing has to be started with sudo to be able to do this.
And there is no way- at least I have not found a way - to switch off the log file entries.

But it does not seem to do any harm
