iHello Michael,

I just tried to do capture on multiple interfaces. dumpcap is suid root.

jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i ppp0  -t
File: /tmp/wireshark_ppp0_20110519185613_vsDXd7
Packets: 2 ^CPackets captured/dropped on interface ppp0: 2/0
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i lo  -t
File: /tmp/wireshark_lo_20110519185621_GFHuue
Packets: 2 ^CPackets captured/dropped on interface lo: 4/0
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i lo -i ppp0  -t
The capture session could not be initiated (ppp0: You don't have permission to 
capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted)).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have 
the proper interface or pipe specified.

Why do I run into a permission problem once I specify more than
one interface?

Ciao
 Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
