#48132: ChmodBPF startup item -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: | Port: wireshark -------------------------+-------------------------------- The wireshark port is missing the ChmodBPF startup item that allows an authorized user read access to the capture devices without having to run as root. From the standalone installer’s description:
This installs a launch daemon (org.wireshark.ChmodBPF.plist) that changes the group permissions of each BPF device to allow access for the "access_bpf" group. It creates the "access_bpf" group if it doesn't exist and adds the current user to the group.
