[Cross post alert: This message is a reprint of a post on openbsd.misc mailling list - I hoped to get some tcpdump specific suggestions here ] Running openbsd-3.4 (Snapshot of several wks ago]
I think this is a known problem but I don't see much recent traffic about it here [openbsd-misc -ed]. And nothing I haven't tried cropped up in few searches of this [openbsd -ed] groups archives. I'm trying to build tcpdump from cvs (tcpdump cvs). I get it built and think its even using the right libraries (also built libpcap). At least the few times it ran without a segfault I saw tcpdump -V # /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump-3.*cvs -V tcpdump-3.8-cvs version 3.8 libpcap version 0.8 And running the stock tcpdump in /usr/sbin I see: # /usr/sbin/tcpdump -V tcpdump version 3.4.0 libpcap version 0.5 Any attempt to run it [cvs version -ed ].. other than tcpdump*cvs -V and I get an immediate segfault: /usr/local/sbin/tcpdump*cvs Segmentation fault (core dumped) What I was after here was the `-C' option to tcpdump which is apparently disabled in the obsd-3.4 (snap) stock inclusion. That option allows the creation of multiple files that are rotated when a size given on command line is reached. - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
