Hello, I used to have a Wireshark (as root) menu item under Internet (in gnome at least) which was useful for running wireshark with root privileges. Now I only see the normal Wireshark menu item, which starts the program with user privileges. You know that you can't sniff without being root, so every time I have to run wireshark from a root terminal. Why has it been removed?
Hi, From 1.2.1-2, you can run wireshark as a normal user and capture traffic. For instructions, see README.Debian [1]. Cheers, Balint [1] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/collab-maint/ext-maint/wireshark/tags/1.2.1-2/debian/README.Debian
