Using capabilities for libpcap apps

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

  I need few suggestions about this .. 
https://blog.wireshark.org/2010/02/running-wireshark-as-you/ .. Gerald 
Combs, the upstream maintainer of wireshark, suggests to use 
capabilities instead of consolehelper+root privileges for 
dumpcap/wireshark. It makes whole lot of sense, so I've looked if other 
apps in Fedora are already using it and I haven't found any. Honestly 
I'm not sure about right way to use them. The idea is to add something 
like following to %post

# groupadd -g wireshark
# chgrp wireshark /usr/bin/dumpcap
# setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/dumpcap
# setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/tshark

Suggestions? Ideas? Spec file patches?

Any help is welcome.

Radek
