And note that Bill Fenner changed tcpdump, a while ago, to somewhat decouple it from its corresponding libpcap version, allowing current versions of tcpdump to be installed on systems with older versions of libpcap; most of the platform support issues are with libpcap rather than tcpdump, so, even if we drop support for some platforms in libpcap at some point, that, by itself, wouldn't mean tcpdump would stop working on those platforms. _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
