Hi,
 
I´m having problems to configure wireshark to open on my system without root privilegies.
 
I read your page about orientation but can´t get understand this part:
 
"
# groupadd -g packetcapture
# chmod 750 /usr/bin/dumpcap
# chgrp packetcapture /usr/bin/dumpcap
# setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
 
In the last line, the setcap command isn´t recognize.
 
Thanks,
Rodrigo.
