Just addtional info here, I checked the man page for tcpdump,
it said " onece super user put the host in promiscuos mode using
pfconfig(8) ...". But there is no executible pfconfig in the
BSD (i also checked the package list).

----------------------------
I am trying to get TCPDUMP work in our FreeBSD machine,
and getting some problems. Here is what i did: I added
one line in the kernel file
- cd /sys/i386/conf
- cp GENERIC MYGENERIC
- vi MY GENERIC # add one line, pseudo-device bpf 4
- cd /dev
- ./MAKEDEV bpf1 # bpf0 is there by default
- ./MAKEDEV bpf2
- ./MAKEDEV bpf3 # now bpf0-bpf3 are created
Then i rebuilt the kernel.
In an xterm window, i type "tcpdump host wiggle" (note wiggle is
a remote node, BSD machine can PING that node without problem).
I got error "ix0: Device not Configured". ix0 is the NIC interface
name for my IntelExpress network card.
I need your suggestions on this problem. Please send to me
at : wants@ttc.com. I will post the correct answer to the
BSD community later on.
