Date: 3 Feb 1997 15:06:55 GMT Organization: Concentric Internet Services Lines: 17 Message-ID: <5d4uuf$113@chronicle.concentric.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: voyager.cris.com X-Newsreader: TIN [UNIX 1.3 950824BETA PL0] Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:35052 The ppp documentation claims that one can use tcpdump with it, but when I point tcpdump at /dev/tun it comes up with the error message "/dev/bpf improperly configured" and then exits. The man pages say very little about /dev/bpf - a device which was installed by the Walnut Creek cdrom distribution of FreeBSD 2.1.0. If anyone could suggest either a remedy or documentation to read, I'd very much appreciate it. Regards, Rick Slater, Rslater@cris.com -- I am Pentium of Borg. Division is futile.
