Wheeler) Subject: tcpdump: /dev/bpf0: Device not configured Message-ID: <O5VHBMDH@math.fu-berlin.de> Followup-To: comp.os.386bsd.questions Summary: Why? Keywords: tcpdump, bpf Sender: Robert A. Wheeler Nntp-Posting-Host: knock1.mgh.harvard.edu Organization: Mass General Hospital, Boston References: <9310041624.AA0109@havoc.ns.doe.gov> Date: Mon, 4 Oct 1993 14:10:56 GMT Lines: 13 I'm running FreeBSD + XFree86 1.3 on a DECpc 433dxLP (a 33mhz 486dx). "tcpdump", distributed with FB, initially complained that bpf0 did not exist. I politely created it via "sh MAKEDEV bpf0". Invoking tcpdump now says "Device not configured". The /dev/bpf0 entry: crwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 23, 0 Sep 23 11:26 /dev/bpf0 This happens whether I'm root or su'root. Any ideas? pipes@knock1.mgh.harvard.edu
