Can you send patches for QNX support to [EMAIL PROTECTED], per attached e-mail? I would like to use QNX as the platform for a Snort-based IDS appliance, and Snort requires libpcap. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the message I sent out the last time somebody asked about QNX support; the person who apparently did the port was Chris McKillop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

That's because none of us with commit privileges have, as far as I know, any idea what the QNX mechanism for packet capture is (I certainly don't), and nobody's sent us a patch to add support for libpcap. > I get the following error > > # ./tcpdump -i en0 > tcpdump: live packet capture not supported on this system That's correct - tcpdump.org's libpcap does not support live packet capture on QNX, because we have no idea how to make it do so, and nobody's told us how to make it do so. > But I know that there was some port for QNX at onepoint > from the QNX website, which I can't access any longer. Send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking him to please send patches for QNX support to [EMAIL PROTECTED], so that we can add that support. (Ask him to do so based on the current CVS version, so that, if possible, he can make the new APIs for getting lists of interfaces and network addresses work on QNX.) If that bounces, that may mean he's no longer at QNX, so you may have to ask QNX for help. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
