If you want to do it while the capture is in progress, the only way to
do it would be to change Ethereal to default to 0644 rather than 0600
when creating capture files.  (After the capture is done, you can
obviously do it with "chmod".)

(There *might* be a way to do it with default ACLs on the "/var/tmp"
directory, but that'd probably also affect files *other* than Ethereal
capture files.)
