>Description:
tcpdump -itunX filter_expression shows only outgoing (from localhost)
packets.

It does not show any incoming packets.

Problem machine has only one serial interface.

Ethereal 8.xbehaves the same way.

Ethernet interfaces are not affected.

No NAT or IPFW or IPFILTER in place.


>How-To-Repeat:
tcpdump -itunX port telnet

when you have an open telnet connection shows only
the telnet client packets; there are no server reply packets.

tcpdump -itunX <Null_Filter_Expression ie Null String works fine but you get everything.

>Fix:
Same behaviour under 4.0-RELEASE.

Downgrade to 3.x I suspect.
