13 _Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets?
14 Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark"
15 system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the
16 alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because
17 less of the code will run with elevated privileges.
19 For more detailed information please see
20 /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.
22 Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
23 default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled.

27 _Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed
28 The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so

37 _Description: The wireshark group is a system group
38 The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred
39 configuration is for it to be created as a system group.

53 _Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed
54 When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow
55 non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of
56 wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group.
58 However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of
59 being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it.
61 If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually.

67 The falcodump external capture utility (extcap) can be installed in a
