Michael,

Thanks for the tip on the interactive work around. I have created an alias that I can use everytime I need to use wireshark. I now have all the interfaces lised.

Looking forward to the "fixed" version of Wireshark for 10.6.

With regards,

David

I just installed the MacOSX version of Wireshark downloaded from
www.wireshark.org/download.html.

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.2). The
downloaded item was OS X 10.5(Leopard) Intel.dmg.

I followed the instructions regarding the installation of the
application and the various scripts. But when I start Wireshark it does
not list any interfaces (eth0, eth1, etc) to select.

Also when starting the machine, it complains about the items in
/Library/StartupItems:

"/Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF" has not been started because it does
not have the proper security settings.
This needs to be fixed. I think the owner needs to be root and the group
wheel. When it actually loads, you interfaces should show up.

If you want the same interactively:
sudo chmod uog+r /dev/bpf*

Best regards
Michael

Any ideas, or does the application need to be tweaked for Snow Leopard?

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to report this.

Thanks,
