When I run it as my under privledged user I get:
The capture session could not be initiated (socket: Operation not permitted).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that
you have the proper interface or pipe specified.
When I su to root and try to run it I get:
abefro@bing:~> su
Password:
bing:/home/abefro # ethereal
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.
The application 'ethereal' lost its connection to the display localhost:10.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.
If it setuid root on ethereal I get:
abefro@bing:~> ethereal
(process:5299): Gtk-WARNING **: This process is currently running setuid or setgid.
This is not a supported use of GTK+. You must create a helper
program instead. For further details, see:

Refusing to initialize GTK+.
What is a helper program?
How can I get this to work?
