Hello!

I know it sounds lame, but I can't figure it out
myself. Recently I compiled Ethereal 0.4.1 on a
Redhat 5.1 system. Then I looked at my interfaces

[ethereal-0.4.1]$ netstat -i
Kernel Interface table
Iface     MTU Met  RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR  TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flags
lo       3584   0     75      0      0      0     75      0      0      0 BLRU
eth0     1500   0   6559      0      0      0    359      0      0      0 BRU

and made the ethereal executable suid root

[ethereal-0.4.1]$ ls -l ethereal 
-rwsr-xr-x   1 jurijus  users     1241432 Oct 17 15:28 ethereal

Then I ran it and tried to Capture from eth0, but 
received an error message, saying that the capture
session could not be initiated either because I
don't have enough privileges or the interface name
is wrong. What's wrong?

Regards,

Jurij
