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.
