Title: unable to capture traffic

hi,
I am using ethereal on solaris 2.8 ultra 60 platform and I can capture traffic when i login as a root but not with other accounts. Even when I gave root permission to other account I am unable to capture traffic. When I try to capture i don't get any interface. If I type an interface say "hme1", I get an error message -

" The capture session could not be initiated (/dev/hme:permission denied). Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the proper interface or pipr specified.

Please help.
Thanks in advance.
