Peer) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Re: Tcpdump Date: 8 May 1996 21:26:40 GMT Organization: Golden West College Lines: 35 Message-ID: <4mr3ig$4gb@ponyexpress.gwc.cccd.edu> References: <Dr38FG.LHH@ritz.mordor.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: mpeer.csc.gwc.cccd.edu Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 /dev/bpf0 is not configured in the default kernel, for obivious security reasons. However if you have the kernel sources installed... cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf look in to LINT file for: pseudo-device bpfilter 4 #Berkeley packet filter BTW this is from 2.1.0R and add this line to your kernel config file. For help recompile a kernel look at FreeBSD web page in the FAQ on "So, How do I recompile my own kernel" Hope that helps. Just returning the favors, for all the help from this newsgroup.
