First,My version of wireshark is Version 1.12.1 (Git Rev Unknown from unknown),I search it in the debian packages of Jessie , the version is right , but the content of brackets is out of my understanding!
Second, I want to run wireshark as non-root ! So I search it in Google ,the webpage (http://blog.binarymist.net/2013/04/13/running-wireshark-as-non-root-user/) tells me do the following procedure : 1.from your console: sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common You’ll be prompted: Configuring wireshark-common 2.Respond yes. The wireshark group will be added The help text also warns about a security risk which isn’t an issue because setuid isn’t used. Rather what actually happens is the following: addgroup --quiet --system wireshark chown root:wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip /usr/bin/dumpcap 3.You will then have to manually add your user to the wireshark group. sudo adduser kim wireshark # replacing kim with your user or usermod -a -G wireshark kim # replacing kim with your user log out then back in again. Third , I do not restart my computer , and it does not take effect! I find everything is right! The group wireshark exists, my account is in the group and the dumpcap(/usr/bin) is root wireshark! Why I need to restart my computer? And is the procedure above right or suitable for Debian Jessie??? mudongliang -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
