As you probably read yesterday in GWN[1], Ethereal is being removed due to security vulnerabilities[2] and replaced with its successor, Wireshark.
Ethereal, as far as anyone can tell, is no longer being developed[3] as all the core developers have moved to Wireshark[4]. To make this transition as painless as possible, a package move has been setup so Ethereal users should automatically upgrade to Wireshark. To keep the saved configuration from Ethereal and reuse it with Wireshark do the following for each user that has a saved Ethereal configuration: cd $HOME mv .ethereal .wireshark [1] http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20060724-newsletter.xml#doc_chap1_sect2 [2] http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200607-09.xml [3] http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-cvs/200605 [4] http://www.wireshark.org/faq.html#q1.2 -- Daniel Black <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gentoo Crypto/dev-embedded/Forensics/NetMon
