Whenever I run: tcpdump -vvv
when I am finished, I am surprised to see: 27441 packets received by filter 7866 packets dropped by kernel I have pored over the tcpdump man page, but do not see how to tell it to not drop any of the packets. What is the purpose behind this ? I can't think of any situation where I would want to run tcpdump and not see certain things. The whole point of my tcpdump usage is to try to catch some malicious traffic that I think is hitting my system - if it is dropping so many packets, I might never see it! Many thanks - and also, just out of curiousity, what _is_ the situation in which it helps to throw out 20% of the packets and not see them ? _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
