Is this ok with the opencsw standards ?

Sounds reasonable. You can describe additional package use on the
wiki at <http://wiki.opencsw.org/packages>

Sure, wikis are a nice thing. Even nicer is to provide a README.CSW in the documentation directory where you explain the idiosyncrasies of your
package.

Well, my question did not target the documentation - this is documented in
wireshark
( and if that gets not read - why should I believe mine is being read ?)

Because some users may want to install suid while other won't.

I was more concerened about the security implications when installing it
setuid.

Yes. That's what I meant: install without SUID and put a note in README.CSW like

If you want to allow regular users to snoop promiscous, please issue
      chmod u+s /opt/csw/bin/wireshark

Because it is that important you may also want to echo this during postinstall.


Best regards
