The best way to do this is to configre the build with --enable-setuid-

I don't know if this survives in RPM build, so you can always do that
afterwards: # chmod +s dumpcap


That's sufficient only if dumpcap is owned by root; doing, as root:

	chown root dumpcap
	chmod +s dumpcap

may be necessary and should be sufficient.
