** Description changed:
Binary package hint: wireshark-common
dumpcap from wireshark-common (wireshark 1.07 release) will not write
its output to ~/ (with sudo).
$ sudo dumpcap -i eth0 -w ~/test.cap
The file to which the capture would be saved ("/home/sune/test.cap") could
not be opened: Permission denied.
whereas
sudo dumpcap -i eth0 -w /tmp/test.cap
File: /tmp/test.cap
Packets: 3
....
or even
sudo dumpcap -i eth0 -w /home/test.cap
File: /tmp/test.cap
Packets: 3
work fine!
(sudo is needed for packet capturing, so it does not make sense to
invoke dumpcap as a normal user.)
I can replicate this issue on three different ubuntu 9.04 installations
(server x86, desktop x86, desktop x64).
Hope you can take a look at this, thank!
