</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Summary     : Network traffic analyzer
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Description :
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; Wireshark is a network traffic analyzer for Unix-ish operating
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; systems. It is based on GTK+, a graphical user interface library,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; and libpcap, a packet capture and filtering library.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt;
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; wally &lt;wally&gt; 1.8.4-2.mga3:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; + Revision: 324195
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - install dumpcap setuid root as upstream suggests (to allow to
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; start wireshark as normal user)
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt;&gt; - drop run-as-root hacks
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; Hi,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; It seems you introduced a security flaw: now all users are able to
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; capture the network traffic.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; This should be reverted, or restrictions should be added (maybe by
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> &gt; making consolekit add acls if possible).
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Perhaps only make it only work for users in the wheel group?
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Ah, yes. Didn't think that much. :\
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> As Colin suggested we could &quot;chgrp wheel /usr/bin/dumpcap &amp;&amp; chmod
</I>&gt;<i> 4750 /usr/bin/dumpcap&quot;. Or we could create wireshark group for it and
</I>&gt;<i> do the same.
</I>
I see you did the wireshark group (better choice than wheel for sure).  Personally I prefer Olivier's consolekit suggestion, to allow the 
user logged into the physical console to use it.  Much less of a management headache in most cases.  The restricting it to a group should be 
something an administrator can enforce with msec if they want it (and it could even be added to the default restrictions for the secure 
level).
