Hello I´m trying to start ethereal on my SuSE Linux pc. It works great. But when I want to start it as "normal" user and not as root user, it has no access to ehternet device. The messages "socket error. no permission to open socket" occurs.
What can I do to start the application as a normal user ?

thanks Andreas
