Hi All, I'm trying to watch the traffic on our network to track down a problem, and am having trobule configuring tcpdump on either of our freebsd machines. I get the error '/dev/bpf0: Device not configured' The man pages say that root must have read access to the device but: crw------- 1 root wheel 23, 0 Oct 18 22:19 bpf0 Have also tried setting exec permission, but no effect. Is there something i may have missed, or a flag somewhere that (dis)allows promiscuous mode?
