It ends up reading /etc/ethers directly, which is bad if your ether tables are distributed via NIS. >How-To-Repeat: put your /etc/ethers file in NIS, run tcpdump -e, notice that all your ethernet addresses aren't resolved. >Fix: Index: tcpdump/Makefile =================================================================== RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpdump/Makefile,v retrieving revision 1.14.2.1 diff -u -r1.14.2.1 Makefile --- Makefile 1997/12/31 21:51:55 1.14.2.1 +++ Makefile 1998/07/23 19:34:49 @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ PROG= tcpdump CFLAGS+=-DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_NET_SLIP_H=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 \ - -DHAVE_ETHER_NTOA=1 -DHAVE_SETLINEBUF=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 \ + -DHAVE_ETHER_NTOHOST=1 -DHAVE_SETLINEBUF=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 \ -DRETSIGTYPE=void -DRETSIGVAL= -DHAVE_SOCKADDR_SA_LEN=1 \ -DHAVE_TM_GMTOFF=1 -DLBL_ALIGN=1 -DPPP -DHAVE_FDDI MAN1= tcpdump.1 (the code doesn't check for ETHER_NTOA at all, so it must have been typoed at some point) -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: Dan Nelson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the messagehome | help
