Thanks for the explanation of the /dev directory. Confirmed everything
you said and it does show there /dev/bpf0 to /dev/bpf6. I learned
something new today. :-)
In order for it to be run, /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF, and all
the files under it, must be owned by user "root" and group "wheel",
and must not have group or other write privileges.
ls -l in StartupItems shows:
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 170 Jul 18 13:27 ChmodBPF
and inside that directory, it shows:
total 24
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 959 Jul 18 13:27 ChmodBPF
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2551 Jul 18 13:27 README.macosx
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 84 Jul 18 13:27 StartupParameters.plist
So, it looks like it meets the requirement you mentioned, doesn't it?
This is what the Wireshark 1.6.1 installer created, I didn't change
anything. Yet, no interfaces. I'm not exactly an expert on UNIX, so
any help greatly appreciated!
