Hi all,
How does one get tcpdump to work??
I am trying, what seems to me, a simple test.
In one window I have:
pfconfig ln0 +p # Enable promiscuous mode
tcpdump host host.domain
tcpdump: listening on ln0
Using kernel BPF filter
In another window I do:
ping somehost.domain
Absolutely nothing turns ups in the window running tcpdump.
I have ``options PACKETFILTER'' in my kernel config file.
I have a dir in /dev called pf which contains 64 pfilt special files.
This was done my good ol' MAKEDEV.
What am I missing here??
