The User's Guide and the About dialog say the global settings file is called "preferences", but the ethereal and tethereal man pages say it's called "ethereal.conf"; the man pages are correct.
Also, there's inconsistency within and between these documents about the other global and personal configuration files. The User's Guide doesn't mention the global directory for Unix (equivalent to %ETHEREAL% on Windows) for all files. The man pages give various directories for this (/etc or /usr/local/etc).
