... 3) answer yes to allow non-root users to do packet captures. Have you noticed that the question mentions a README.Debian file?:
_Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets? Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark" system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because less of the code will run with elevated privileges. . For more detailed information please see /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian. . Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled. -- 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
