Re: Error when saving to multiple files

Hi,

Just to be clear: this is effectively killing all protection of your home 
directory, not a safe thing.

The way to go is for option 2 "sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/dumpcap"
And then use /home/<username>/test.cap to write your own files in your own home 
directory.

Thanks,
Jaap
