Hello For some time now I have been watching tcp dumps by sending them through tcpshow -cooked. This has worked quite well on BSD 4.X and also I believe 5.2.1. However, when I tried to do this on a 5.5 or 6.1 server, I get an error. Can anyone help with why I might be getting these errors with later versions of FreeBSD? I have tried all I can think of. > tcpdump -i bge1 -s 1518 -lenx | tcpshow tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 1518 bytes tcpdump: 1 packets captured 162 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel bad dump file format Or > tcpdump -i bge1 -s 1518 -lenx | tcpshow -cooked tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode listening on bge1, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 1518 bytes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Packet 1 ***Error: Badly formatted Ethernet address 1 packets captured 178 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel Thanks!!
