Running Etherape without root or sudo

To run Etherape without having to use sudo each time then, after installation, run the following command:

sudo setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip /usr/bin/etherape

Your executable may be in another location.

Make sure you understand the security implications of doing this.

You will need your administrator to run this command for you if you do not have sudo access.
