Sniffit when compiled for FreeBSD will work on BSDI machines however I have experienced a problem with a particular BOX using an ne0 -- NE2000 -- ether card. When I run the sniffer on this BSDI box, the machine locks up completely or perhaps just locks out network traffic. I cannot tell since I am coming in remotely. I anyone can point me to another place where I can aquire source for a different sniffer that will compile on BSDI please do so. Ethier that or show me how to use tcpdump to produce output which will unravel the data in a packet to plaintext ascii in a readable format. Thanks for the help. P.S. Has anyone else experienced the same problems with sniffit specifically or otherwise with attempting to run a sniffer on NE2000(ne) interfaces?
