Are there any GUI-enabled sniffers (network analyzers) available on
FreeBSD?  My group and I are trying to look at network traffic at a more
macroscopic view and are less interested in the contents of packets.  We
are interested in filtering specific packets out of a large number and
logging them.  For instance, in some cases we are experiencing software
problems that occur seldom over a few days.  When they occur we would
like to be able to capture LDAP traffic and TCP traffic for the
connections being used by LDAP.  I guess the ability to set up filtering
and to easily display traffic after the fact are essential.  My group
finds tcpdump harder to setup and use textually.  Is there an
alternative?  Thanks!

Mike
