- pkg-message:
- For install:
- In order for wireshark be able to capture packets when used by unprivileged
user, /dev/bpf should be in network group and have read-write permissions.
For example:
# chgrp network /dev/bpf*
# chmod g+r /dev/bpf*
# chmod g+w /dev/bpf*
In order for this to persist across reboots, add the following to
/etc/devfs.conf:
own bpf* root:network
perm bpf* 0660

Update to 0.99.4. This release fixes a few security bugs as well as other
functional problems, adds some new features and protocol support, and
updates many other protocols. Also:
* Force snmp.name searches to be spring searches instead of OIDs. This
reverts to ethereal behavior, and works a lot better
* Convert to OPTIONS
* Add optional RTP stream playback support
* Use OPENSSLBASE instead of /usr to pick up ports OpenSSL [1]
For a summary of all features and fixes see
http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-0.99.4.html .
Security: See http://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-0.99.4.html

Add wireshark and tshark after repocopies from ethereal and tethereal
respectively. Wireshark is a rename of ethereal after the principal
developer moved companies and lost the Ethereal copyright.
Messenger, don't shoot!
Now the ethereal binary is called wireshark, the tethereal binary is
called tshark, and idl2eth is now idl2wrs. All other binaries have
kept the same name.
In addition to this name change, I have also changed the PREFIX from X11BASE
to LOCALBASE. |
