I'm trying to get Wireshark to work in non-root mode in Squeeze. There

Mmm... did you configure it as "I.a" or "I.b"? Do you have a customized/
vanilla kernel or Debian's stock one?

Configure what, how? I can find no configuration files.

Using Debian's stock amd64 kernel.

I have no wireshark group, and apart from in that document I can find
nothing about dumpcap.

Can anybody give me some hints, please?

Readme file says that you have to manually add the users to wireshark
group. And I bet that running the app as root will also work.

Well, as I said, there is no wireshark group. Perhaps that is the problem.

Running as root does indeed work, but pops up a dire warning that it's dangerous to do so. I don't particularly want to run as root.
