MacOSX installation and /dev/bpf permissions

I've installed version Wireshark 1.4.3 and am trying to get a list of the
interfaces. Using OSX v 10.6.6

I have the command line utilities in the class.

What I'm not sure about is the best way to adjust the permissions. I can't
find any folder named ChmodBPF on the computer. Maybe because I ejected the
installation image.

Can I execute chmod to change the /dev/bpf* permissions? If so, what should
they be? 755?
