hi sirs, apologize me if i posted to the wrong list. here is my machine bank@/tmp# uname -a FreeBSD bank.thai-aec.org 4.8-STABLE FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #2: Sun Jun 1 18:59:28 ICT 2003 root@bank.thai-aec.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/Bank i386 bank@/tmp# i read tcpdump man page and find that the b option written in description is conflicted to synopsis. please have a look from man page below NAME tcpdump - dump traffic on a network SYNOPSIS tcpdump [ -adeflnNOpqRStuvxX ] [ -c count ] [ -C file_size ] [ -F file ] [ -i interface ] [ -m module ] [ -r file ] [ -s snaplen ] [ -T type ] [ -w file ] [ -E algo:secret ] [ expression ] DESCRIPTION Tcpdump prints out the headers of packets on a network interface that match the boolean expression. It can also be run with the -w flag, which causes it to save the packet data to a file for later analysis, and/or with the -b flag, which causes it to read from a saved packet file rather than to read packets from a network interface. bank@/tmp# i try -b file and got error but -r file give me a good result. ===== มานี http://www.thai-aec.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
