--
Whenever I start or re-start live capturing from my work computer, Wireshark
tries to access ".wireshark" in my home directory. My home directory is located
on a NetApp filer and not on the local PC, so a series of SMB queries are
transmitted. Because this directory does not exist, the filer responds to each
query with "Error: STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND." Wireshark never creates a
file or directory named ".wireshark", even when preferences are changed and
saved.
I did not see this behavior prior to v1.8.5, and I believe .wireshark is used
by *NIX versions of Wireshark, not by the Windows version.
A trace file showing the SMB queries and responses is attached.
