Re: CapturePrivileges not working

[Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws () gmail com>]

What build system are you using?

If autofoo then remember dumpcap is actually a libtool shell script
and Linux doesn't support setuid (and I'd guess also setcap) shell scripts.
You'd need to put the permissions  on .libs/lt-dumpcap or whatever it is.
