Template: wireshark-common/install-setuid
Type: boolean
Default: false
_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.gz once the package
is installed.
.
Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled.
Template: wireshark-common/addgroup-failed
Type: error
_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.
Template: wireshark-common/group-is-user-group
Type: error
_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.
Template: wireshark-common/setcap-failed
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.
