>Description:

The version of tcpslice in the source tree has a few problems related
to how it interprets temporal arguments.  It appears to be doing
timezone conversions wrong.

>How-To-Repeat:

With a "tcpdump -w" file, try subsetting parts of the file.  The examples
below were attempts to get all packets in a 24-hour time window, starting
at 2 AM the morning after a trace started.

Wrong behavior:

eisenhower:tcpslice% tcpslice -d -r 2h +24h tcpdump.out
tcpdump.out    Fri Mar 12 16:24:00 1999        Mon Mar 15 09:50:18 1999
start   Thu Mar 11 18:00:00 1999
stop    Fri Mar 12 10:00:00 1999 

Correct behavior: 

eisenhower:tcpslice% ./tcpslice -d -r 2h +24h tcpdump.out 
tcpdump.out    Fri Mar 12 16:24:00 1999        Mon Mar 15 09:50:18 1999
start   Fri Mar 12 02:00:00 1999
stop    Sat Mar 13 02:00:00 1999

>Fix:
	
Pursuant to ports/9358, the idea was discussed of importing a newer
tcpslice into the source tree.  A newer version from LBL fixes the problem
above.  I think it'd also be appropriate to move the distribution of
tcpslice into /usr/src/contrib, to parallel the location of tcpdump.

I think the steps needed are these:

1.  Grab ftp://ftp.ee.lbl.gov/tcpslice-1.1a3.tar.Z.  Unpack it,
and make the resulting directory /usr/src/contrib/tcpslice.

2.  cvs remove all of the files in /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpslice
except for the Makefile.

3.  New /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpslice/Makefile is uuencoded 
and enclosed below.  (No diffs sent since the two Makefiles
don't have much in common.)
