What about this solution? PS: Wireshark now prints message box "Running as user 'root' and group 'root. This could be dangerous' when running as root. Fortunately this dialog also contains checkbox "Don't show this message again." :)) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
