Hmm, there's also the obvious option (c) where you "su" root and run Wireshark as root but not set-uid. Works well for me though it's still more work than I'd like: In my environment everyone can have network capture access so I'd love to install Wireshark set-uid but I presently can't. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list Wireshark-users@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
