Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Is it a bug with Wireshark?

[Jason <wireshark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds like a different situation.  I definitely agree with the 
conversation in the bug regarding privsep and not wanting expose the 
entirety of wireshark dissector code to filtering raw traffic while 
running as root.

However, the OP of this thread appeared to be talking about using '-R' 
to set the Display Filter in wireshark during an autostarted, '-k', live 
capture.  So, we're not looking for setting a capture filter with '-R' 
like tshark does for reading files.  Only to set the Diplay Filter when 
autostarting.  Maybe it should have a different switch, to clarify it.

This is the same feature I'm also looking for.  Since there seems to be 
a pretty clear difference between the two scenarios (unless I mis-read 
something), I'll file a new bug regarding wireshark/'-R'/'-k' sometime 
today or tomorrow.

thx,

Jason.
