Good Evening Community, I am running the following command in the OpenBSD 6.2.
*"tcpdump -Nneqt -w tcpdump.pcap -i vic0 &"* and using the following newsyslog.conf entry for rotating the tcpdump.pcap # logfile_name owner:group mode count size when flags /home/logs/tcpdump.pcap 644 5 10 * z So when newsyslog checks and >=10KB size hits, the *tcpdump.pcap* file will be rotated and *tcpdump.pcap.0.gz* will be created. But after this, the size of the file is not increasing. run the following command to check the file *#tcpdump -r tcpdump.pcaptcpdump: bad dump file format* *and the above tcpdump command is still running in the background.* *So the question is the tcpdump have any issue with rotating the files with newsyslog?* *Or am I missing something?* *Can you please suggest a solution for this?* Thanks and Regards Yogendra Kumar National Institute of Technology, Karnataka
