[tcpdump-workers] Facing a problem when I try to capture NetBeui packet (NBF) of ether frames

2004-05-27 Thread Bassam A. Al-Khaffaf








I am trying to capture the ether type frames that contain only
the NetBeui (NBF) packets by using the tcpdump, but unfortunately I am getting
error in spite of following the instructions in the man page. The command that
I am writing is as follows:



tcpdump ether proto \\netbeui



the error that I am getting is:

tcpdump: unknown ether proto netbeui



But for other ether frame protocols such as arp, rarp and ip there is no problem and
they work. So any body can help me to solve this problem?

 Also, should we save the mode returned by setmode() and restore it 
 when we close a pcap_t or pcap_dumper_t that refers to the standard 
 input or output?


Since pcap_dump_close() doesn't have a pcap_t argument, where should
the oldmode come from? Can we have two module globals; oldmode_stdin, 
oldmode_stdout, assuming stdin/stdout won't be opened for capture more 
than once?

Ideally it should be pcap_dump_flush(pcap_t *p), but too late to
change that now.

If it's opened for capture or dumping more than once in sequence, 
that's not an issue; if it's opened for capture or dumping more than 
once in parallel, that's not going to work anyway.  As such, the two 
globals would probably be the best idea.
