pfconfig(8) is a DEC-ism. Don't worry about it unless you're running Ultrix
or OSF/1 (er, Digital UNIX).
What my tcpdump manpage says is (in part):
Under Ultrix and Digital UNIX: Once the
super-user has enabled promiscuous-mode operation using
pfconfig(8), any user may run tcpdump. Under BSD: You must
have read access to /dev/bpf*.
(Not sure how to get you up and running though.)
Bruce.
