HI, I have a problem? with bpf. When I run vertain application which use the bpf whether is be tcpdump to monitor traffic on an interface or nmap to scan a node, lately I've been getting bpf4 device not found, or today bpf5 device not found. I don't get these everytime, but just lately, when I got the message bpf4, I didn't think much of it, I went to /dev and did ./MAKEDEV bpf4 and it worked no prob, then today it happend with bpf5 again, this worked, but I suspect there is something going on which is tying up devices bpf0 - bpf3 which were initially created. Is there anyway to check if something is hogging them? I took a look at the running processes, and nothing popped out, should I look closer? Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance. - Matthew Rudderham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
