thing to do. All that is really needed is read access to one of
the /dev/bpf* devices. So what you could do to get the prompt back is:
ssh -t $user@host sudo chown $user /dev/bpf\*; ssh -Y user@host /sw/

No X11 apps running as root, no passwordless sudo, backgrounded
ethereal, everything is great.

This almost worked.
ethereal launches, I get the command prompt back and ethereal is
usable -- all is good; however, the first time I issue a command in
the xterm from which I launched ethereal, the command executes and I
get a message that ethereal has stopped. Sure enough, ethereal is
unusable even after I issue an "fg".
I had my hopes up there for a minute.
