I am deploying ethereal as a distributed sniffer on Redhat 7.3, and it works
great.  We really love it, great job.

I have a couple of questions.

1. Listing all ethernet interfaces on the system on the capture pull down
instead of the active IP interfaces only.  I posted a question about this
before but I was wondering if this is on the radar screen to enhance.  Is
there a way to have the etherent alias be displayed in the pull down also.

2.  Add the ability to add a personal title (-title command line option), so
as we are using a bunch of different ethereal instances we can keep straight
which one is which.  It would be nice if the title also appeared on the
capture.

3.  Ability to run as non-root.  I read a bunch of past postings but it
looks like there is still no way to run as non-root on redhat 7-9.  Is there
a workaround to this or any ideas how to manage it in a multi ethereal user
environment?

Thanks
Bill
