Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4vfh5o$rap@nntpd.lkg.dec.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: snads.lkg.dec.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 1.1 (X11; I; OSF1 V3.2 alpha) X-URL: news:comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc#mvhDwG58w.IBL@netcom.com I need help using tcpdump on FreeBSD 2.1.5. Every time I run it, it get a message about /dev/bpf0 not being configured. I cannot find any info on configuring bpf. The man page has programming info, but I couldn't find anything re: configuring. Am I expected to write a program myself? I haven't had to do this on other unixes I've used. For example pfconfig(8) on Digital Unix allows me to config the packet filter driver. Note: I did not build the kernel (no disk space yet). I am using what I installed of the CD which arrived a few days ago. Thanks for any info. Mike -- Michael C.
