Readme
+----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Running ${PKGSTEM} on OpenBSD +----------------------------------------------------------------------- Packet dissectors (here in Wireshark, and in other programs such as tcpdump) have a long history of security problems. In Wireshark, these are isolated from the packet capture code (which must have root privileges) by using a separate program, dumpcap, to run the capture. ${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/dumpcap has been installed setuid root, with read/execute access granted only to users in the _wireshark group. For normal interactive use of Wireshark, add your username to this group: usermod -G _wireshark username If you will only run Wireshark offline on files captured using tcpdump -w, this step is not necessary. DO NOT RUN WIRESHARK AS ROOT!
