Thanks. As in the ideas page the statement read " a way to capture
packets on Linux and OS X" , only linux came to my mind.

Currenlty in debian systems dumpcap will be running with elevated
privileges and the users who want to capture the live packets are added to
the wireshark group by the administrator. Is there a need to change this as
part of the project? It is allowing the users with minimal interaction to
capture the packets, only the administrator has to do some work of adding
the users.
Can you just direct me to the other linux systems which do not support
this privilege separation?
Thanks,
