It works for me (even without sudo, but that's because

	$ ls -l /dev/bpf*
	crw-rw----   1 root  admin   23,   0 Apr 29 10:31 /dev/bpf0
	crw-rw----   1 root  admin   23,   1 Apr 29 09:10 /dev/bpf1
	crw-rw----   1 root  admin   23,   2 Apr 16 23:59 /dev/bpf2
	crw-rw----   1 root  admin   23,   3 Apr 16 23:59 /dev/bpf3

and I'm in group "admin").
Of course, the file it wrote to when I last tried it was "/var/tmp/ether47NNKLzrLm", as I hadn't given it any "-w" flag to tell it to write to a particular file, so it created a temporary file.
