Hi folks,

running 'ethereal' under HP-UX 11 with root permission and
/dev/lan0 set to 777, I always get the message:
"There are no network interfaces that can be opened.
Please to make sure you have sufficient permission to 
capture packets."

I start ethereal with 'etheral -i lan0' and lan0 is definitely
the lan interface.

What am I missing???


Thanks in advance,

Lothar Seitter
