If you're going to create a group for this, give it a neutral name rather than a Wireshark-specific name; this doesn't just apply to Wireshark, it applies to any other program that either directly opens PF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW sockets or that calls libpcap to do so, e.g. tcpdump.
On OS X, the Wireshark installation package creates an "access_bpf" group; as Linux doesn't use /dev/bpf* devices, that name wouldn't make sense, but a similar name might make sense. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/513903 Title: wireshark must be run as root unless wireshark-common is reconfigured To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wireshark/+bug/513903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
