This is recommended over the 16 alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because 17 less of the code will run with elevated privileges. 18 . 19 For more detailed information please see 20 /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian. 21 . 22 Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by 23 default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled. 24 25Template: wireshark-common/addgroup-failed 26Type: error 27_Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed 28 The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so 29 Wireshark cannot be configured to capture traffic as an unprivileged 30 user. 31 . 32 Please create the wireshark system group and try configuring 33 wireshark-common again. 34 35Template: wireshark-common/group-is-user-group 36Type: error 37_Description: The wireshark group is a system group 38 The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred 39 configuration is for it to be created as a system group. 40 . 41 As a result, purging wireshark-common will not remove the wireshark 42 group, but everything else should work properly. 43 44Template: wireshark-common/setcap-failed 45Type: error 46_Description: Setting capabilities for dumpcap failed 47 The attempt to use Linux capabilities to grant packet-capturing 48 privileges to the dumpcap binary failed. Instead, it has had the 49 set-user-id bit set. 50 51Template: wireshark-common/group-removal-failed 52Type: error 53_Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed 54 When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow 55 non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of 56 wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group. 57 . 58 However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of 59 being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it. 60 . 61 If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually. 62
