I have just upgraded my MacOSX to 10.6.3 and upgrade my Wireshark to 1.2.7.
I still drag the ChmodBPF folder to StartupItems folder so as to grant the
permission for bpf*
However, now whenever I bootup my Mac, it would have a warning below message:
"Insecure Startup Item disabled
"/Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF" has not been started because it does not have
the proper security settings."
As a result, when I open Wireshark, all network interface were not available
for capture.
Then when I followed other discussion to execute command "sudo chmod go+r
/dev/bpf*", then this problem can be fixed temporarily. However, whenever I
boot up again, the warning message would prompt out.
If so, would there be any way to fix the ChmodBPF script so that it can be
accepted by MacOSX in StartupItems?
In the past, when I simply follow this Wireshark readme procedure, it would not
have such problem.
