Hi,

Look in 'About Wireshark'. There's a tab which shows you which paths are being used. You'll find that root doen't use the users plugins, but the ones in his own and the system directory.

Thanx,
Jaap

Some problem with the latest 1.3.2 branch, plugins work perfectly until
you run it as root.
Anybody who can tell me what I'm forgetting? Or a how-to install my own
build so every user can use it?

I have build the whole 1.2.5 branch with my new plugin and it works
perfectly when opening a capture-file made with the root user. Now I'm trying to do a live capture as the root user (sudo) but I noticed that no plugins are loaded. The plugins are loaded fine when I run wireshark
as the same user that made the build.

Do I have to install the plugins or wireshark somewhere so every user
(including root) can run wireshark? Or do I have to copy the
plugin-libraries manually to a directory?
