Subject:   Objections to making dumpcap setgid?

I have a PR where the user is asking to have wireshark's dumpcap setgid 
to network so those in the network group can make use of it.

Before doing this, are there any objections to this from a security 
standpoint?  Is the network group reserved for other things where 
allowing packet capture to those users could be bad?

See https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195435 for the 
details.

Joe
