Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] capturing on multiple interfaces

[Tyson Key <tyson.key@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again, Michael. Probably a stupid question, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but any idea why I'd get "The file to which the capture would be saved ("../pcapng/U1") could not be opened: Permission denied." when trying to write a pcap-ng file to any directory other than the default one (/tmp), even as root, and when a directory has it's permission bits set to 777?

Thanks in advance,
Tyson.

Yes, it should be possible to capture from multiple interfaces of link
types
which are supported today (so I do not add new link types). For
supporting
multiple link types, I had to add pcapng support, which is already
there...
