Hi When I do launch TCPDUMP it does not fetch traffic as it should I am remotely connected to a CLI only Debian system and if I run tcpdump for 5 minutes all I get is a couple of packets. Another strange thing is that I can not stop tcpdump with ctrl + c ..all I get is ^C. I did try using dpkg installer and installing 4.0 and 3.9.8 from source.
monitor01:/usr/src# tcpdump -V tcpdump version 3.9.8 libpcap version 0.9.8 monitor01:/usr/src# uname -a Linux monitor01 2.6.29.2.20090503.x3550 #1 SMP Sun May 3 12:57:31 CDT 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux monitor01:/usr/src# tcpdump -v tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes ^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C^C monitor01:/usr/src# tcpdump -v -c 3 tcpdump: listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes 03:51:59.173723 IP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 03:51:59.174215 IP xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 03:51:59.176474 IPxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 3 packets captured 113 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel The result above took 4 minutes....!!! Any more info or hints needed ? Regards - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://cod.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
