Hi,
I am just testing wireshark on ubuntu 7.10 as root but I cannot
run it from the regular user. What do I need to set or configure?
You should be able to run Wireshark as a regular user but you will not
be able to capture--for that you generally need root access. (Though on
at least some BSD operating systems you can simply chmod the appropriate
device to allow non-root users to capture.)
The upcoming release (0.99.7) will allow you to install the 'dumpcap'
utility as setuid-root and this will allow all users to capture with
Wireshark. See:
