iHello Michael,
I just tried to do capture on multiple interfaces. dumpcap is suid root.
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i ppp0 -t
File: /tmp/wireshark_ppp0_20110519185613_vsDXd7
Packets: 2 ^CPackets captured/dropped on interface ppp0: 2/0
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i lo -t
File: /tmp/wireshark_lo_20110519185621_GFHuue
Packets: 2 ^CPackets captured/dropped on interface lo: 4/0
jmayer@egg:~/work/wireshark/svn/build> dumpcap -i lo -i ppp0 -t
The capture session could not be initiated (ppp0: You don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted)).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the proper interface or pipe specified.
Why do I run into a permission problem once I specify more than
one interface?
Ciao
Jörg
