I've installed the package for Wireshark 1.2.1 on MacOS 10.6.
Wireshark app loads great, but I run across two issues, the first it
does not display a list of interfaces in which I can capture. Is this
because I am using MacOS 10.6 or did I miss something in the
installation.
1.2.2's ChmodBPF is a bit better. If you haven't already installed
ChmodBPF, try downloading the 1.2.2 dmg and, after drag-installing
Wireshark in /Applications, open up the Utilities folder and drag
ChmodBPF into StartupItems. (It will prompt you with a dialog with an
"Authenticate" button; click that button. You will need to be logged
in on an account with administrative privileges.)
Then open up a Terminal window and do
sudo chown -R root:wheel /Library/StartupItems/ChmodBPF
sudo /sbin/SystemStarter start ChmodBPF
and you should now get a list of interfaces on which you can capture.
Also, when trying to display help, It complains that I didn't properly
setup the web browser command, which looks for mozilla to launch, do I
need to install a non mac version of mozilla that X11 can use?
1.2.2 should fix that as well.
