_Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets?
|
|
Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark"
|
|
system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the
|
|
alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because
|
|
less of the code will run with elevated privileges.
|
|
.
|
|
For more detailed information please see
|
|
/usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.
|
|
.
|
|
Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
|
|
default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled.

_Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed
|
|
The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so
|
|
Wireshark cannot be configured to capture traffic as an unprivileged
|
|
user.
|
|
.
|
|
Please create the wireshark system group and try configuring
|
|
wireshark-common again.

|
_Description: The wireshark group is a system group
|
|
The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred
|
|
configuration is for it to be created as a system group.
|
|
.
|
|
As a result, purging wireshark-common will not remove the wireshark
|
|
group, but everything else should work properly.

Type: error

|
_Description: Setting capabilities for dumpcap failed
|
|
The attempt to use Linux capabilities to grant packet-capturing
|
|
privileges to the dumpcap binary failed. Instead, it has had the
|
|
set-user-id bit set.
|
|
|
|
Template: wireshark-common/group-removal-failed
|
|
Type: error
|
|
_Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed
|
|
When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow
|
|
non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of
|
|
wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group.
|
|
.
|
|
However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of
|
|
being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it.
|
|
.
|
|
If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually.
