Description Bryce Mills 2022-11-25 00:09:08 UTC

Description of problem:
When installing only wireshark-cli package (no wireshark gui), wireshark group not created
As a result dumpcap has root group ownership.
Therefore can not start dumpcap with unprivileged user, by adding it to wireshark group

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wireshark-cli-1:4.0.0-1.fc37.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install wireshark-cli
2. grep wireshark /etc/group # empty
3. ls -l /bin/dumpcap
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 119888 Oct 14 07:40 /bin/dumpcap

Actual results:
1. wireshark group not created
2. dumpcap has root group

Expected results:
1. wireshark group created
2. dumpcap has wireshark group


Additional info:
This is caused by sysusers file only in wireshark package, not wireshark-cli

Comment 1 Michal Ruprich 2022-11-25 12:37:03 UTC

Thanks Bryce,

this is interesting. The additional info that you provided is not the cause(I think) since the spec file regarding the sysusers is the same both for Rawhide and F37 and for some reason this works for Rawhide:

# dnf install wiresharl-cli
<no warning about wireshark group not being used>
# grep wireshark /etc/group
wireshark:x:992:
# ls -lh /bin/dumpcap
-rwxr-x---. 1 root wireshark 119896 Oct 27 05:30 /bin/dumpcap

No idea why there is a difference between the versions. I am going to take a look.

Comment 2 Michal Ruprich 2022-11-25 14:33:54 UTC

Seems like moving the line you mentioned under cli files works but I don't understand why. Why does the same work in rawhide? Well anyway, it actually makes sense to move this under cli files.
