Hi Jeff, I must be missing something. I set dumpcap permissions to: # ls -l /usr/local/bin/dumpcap -rwxr-xr-- 1 root wireshark 230157 Dec 11 10:40 /usr/local/bin/dumpcap and the dumpcap command is: root /usr/local/bin/dumpcap -B 16 -i 2 -f vlan and (not vrrp and not udp port 1985 and not ether host 01:00:0c:cc:cc:cc) -g wireshark -b filesize:250000 -b duration:900 -w /var/opt/data/captures.cap I also tried root /usr/local/bin/dumpcap -B 16 -i 2 -f vlan and (not vrrp and not udp port 1985 and not ether host 01:00:0c:cc:cc:cc) -g -b filesize:250000 -b duration:900 -w /var/opt/data/captures.cap but the ring buffer files still end up "root root". ]# ls /var/opt/data/captures/* -l -rw-r----- 1 root root 111542192 Dec 11 13:19 /var/ Thoughts?? Any guidance will be appreciated! Thanks! -John On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 1:11 PM, John Powell <jrp999 () gmail com> wrote:

The current version (1.8.4) would be your best bet. BTW I noticed that this option is not listed in dumpcap's man page; I'll correct that shortly. ______________________________**______________________________** _______________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/**lists/wireshark-dev<http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev> Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/**options/wireshark-dev<https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev> mailto:wireshark-dev-request@**wireshark.org<wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org> ?subject=**unsubscribe
