Package: dhcpdump
Version: 1.8-2
Severity: minor
dhcpdump says, in the manual page :
This command parses the output of tcpdump to display the dhcp-packets
for easier checking and debugging.
and also, in usage :
dhcpdump -i /dev/fxp0
i found that it does not parse the output of tcpdump
(ala : tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump)
but instead does all the work on its own :
dhcpdump -i eth0
please fix the manual page to say something like :
capture the dhcp traffic, analyze and display it.
and not
this tools parse the output of tcpdump.
the current manual page is misleading
thanks !
