Further questions on making wireshark work

Hi, Many thanks to Eric for pointing me in the correct direction with Wireshark and Ethereal. Interestingly, I couldn't find the directory (or the port) for wireshark on my system but did find the references to it on www.freshports.org. So, I downloaded the pre-compiled package for wireshark

I can't offer feedback on any of the questions. However, I see wireshark in the ports tree here: /usr/ports/net/wireshark Yes, that's where it's supposed to be. It's a real curiosity that I don't have it even after doing a cvsup. Andy ___

Hi, I'm about to launch this computer through the roof! This tcpdump is more finicky than feline when it comes to eating. What really bugs me is that just a couple of days ago I was doing this very same thing with no problems. For some reason, however, I just can't resurrect the memory of how

Hi, As I'd mentioned before, I upgraded my vim installation using portupgrade. However, when the upgrade completed, I could no longer start vim in the GUI. I get an error saying that GUI stuff wasn't compiled. I asked here at that time and was told to check up with the port maintainer. I've

Code beautification and/or printing utilities that are not part of an editor

Another question for everyone. Are there any programs, hopefully available in the ports, that one can use to print source code files to a printer (or create as a postscript file)? I'd like something that I can feed a C++ program, have it parse through the code, print line numbers to the left of

Hi, I recently updated some of my ports (due to the fact that I now have a high speed connection to the Internet at home). One of the ports I updated was vim. I used portupgrade -r vim_port_name and let it do its thing. All went well, but now gvim no longer exists. When I was try to execute

You're on the right track. Yes, you'ld need a zone file for the root of your DNS -- if it's all served from one machine then that would replace the 'hint' zone and named.root stuff in the example named.conf The zone file for '.' would contain an SOA record and then delegation for whatever
