I have a script that needs to work with tcpdump.  This worked prior to 
upgrading from 6.1 to 6.2.  Now, even if I set the suid bit on 
/usr/sbin/tcpdump, is still fails to allow a user to run the script.  Take 
a look:

[root@kites /]# ls -al /usr/sbin/tcpdump
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root       210096 Feb 17  2000 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@kites /]# chmod u+s /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@kites /]# ls -al /usr/sbin/tcpdump
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       210096 Feb 17  2000 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@kites /]# chown root:root /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@kites /]# ls -al /usr/sbin/tcpdump
-rwsr-xr-x    1 root     root       210096 Feb 17  2000 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
[root@kites /]# exit
exit
[james@kites net]$ /usr/sbin/tcpdump
tcpdump: socket: Operation not permitted

Any ideas would be appreciated as I would like to get this back 
working.  Do users need to be able to read something under /dev to make 
this work now?

If you reply, I would appreciate a CC as I have been known to miss posts to 
the list.
