Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Warning about radius directory

The radius dictionary gets loaded way before preferences are
evaluated. Giving no warning and then having the packets undecoded
isn't elegant.

Your patch suppresses the error altoghether which is not a nice solution.


What you can do is just add a dummy radius dir and a dummy dictionary:

$ cd $WIRESHARK_DATA
$ mkdir radius
$ touch radius/dictionary

3 commands and the Warning is gone.

Team,

I notice that wireshark emits unconditionally warning mentioning that it
Could not find the radius directory.

I do not think that radius dictionary is needed for operation in all
environments, is is possible to move this output to some kind of
diagnostics mode?

Based on my search, it appears there for some time:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-bugs/200610/msg00501.html

I applied following patch:
