You can rely on WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR. In order to make this explicit, I submitted a documentation patch here: https://code.wireshark.org/review/34113 If you set WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR to an empty directory, it will not load user-specific settings. It will still load settings from the global installation folder, but that should be pretty static. > > Yes - either compiled *or* Lua plugins, so I don't see a need to > > treat compiled and Lua plugins differently. > > I am fine with disabling everything.

Would the above environment variables work for you without requiring new options? -- Kind regards, Peter Wu https://lekensteyn.nl ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users@wireshark.org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
