ethereal problem

I have installed ethereal on solaris 10. however I can execute the ./ethereal using the root account. if tried to execute same from non-root users i am facing the following error.

ethereal: The capture session could not be initiated (/dev/ce: Permission denied).
Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that
you have the proper interface or pipe specified.


I guess problem is with the permission , Pls help me.
