I am trying to run several programs for network monitoring, but when I try to run them they tell me /dev/bpf0 not configured. I have read in the tcpdump man page that it requires permissions??

There is a device bpf0, and I can not find any info on configuring this device.
Any help is apprietiated.


Thanks in advance
