Ok... tcpdump manpage gently describes the wonderful way to montior
packets from an ethernet address as follows:
ether host ehost
True if either the ethernet source or destination address is
ehost.
So I tried:
root@garion > tcpdump ether host gw.hq.ferg.com
tcpdump: only ethernet/FDDI supports link-level host name
Grrr...
OK.. there IS an entry in my ethers file.. looks like:
08:0:3e:0:24:f3 gw.hq.ferg.com
Allright so next i tried...
branson@garion #tcpdump ether host 08:00:09:d4:65:ff
tcpdump: ethernet address used in non-ether expression
This is really frustrating.. can any one help?
