Hi,

We´re having a problem with Tethereal 0.10.4 running over a Debian Woody OS.
When we try to execute the program we obtain the next error message:

tethereal: Can't get list of interfaces: getifaddrs: Connection refused

This doesn´t happens with version 0.9.4, which runs fine in our system.

Any ideas?

Here is some helpful information about the system:

~# tethereal -v
tethereal 0.10.4
Compiled with GLib 2.4.1, with libpcap 0.7.2, with libz 1.2.1.1,
with libpcre 4.5, without UCD-SNMP or Net-SNMP, with ADNS.
Running with libpcap (version unknown) on Linux 2.2.20.

~$ dpkg -l |grep libc6
ii  libc6          2.3.2.ds1-13   GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone
ii  libc6-dev      2.3.2.ds1-13   GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Hea

~$ dpkg -l |grep libdb1

Thanks for all.
