I avoid SVN. It's a personal issue... Would this one below include the group permission change to dumpcap? http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/src/wireshark-1.5.0-SVN-34043.tar.bz2 -Kevin /*“ I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done. ” -- Henry Ford */ On Sat, Aug 28, 2010 at 6:39 AM, Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter () xs4all nl> wrote:

I have not found the solution.I really would like to be able to have group permission so that the teamcan access them without requring dangerous root privilege.What's the magic bullet to accomplish this?The file permissions are hardcoded in the source code. I have added the option '-g' to dumpcap to enable group read access as this can indeed be handy when (automatically) capturing to a ringbuffer. To be able to use this feature, you will have to use an automated build[1] with a number higher than 33978 (available in a couple of hours) or wait for the next 1.5.x development release. Cheers, Sake [1] http://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/I think you need to specify /trunk as well, since trunk-1.0, trunk-1.2 and trunk-1.4 share the revision number space.
