Hi List, I just installed ethereal using tethereal 0.8.18,on my AIX 5.2 machine.
When I start with tethereal -i en0 it gives: tethereal: The capture session could not be initiated (/dev/bpf0: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.). Please check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the proper interface specified. although I am root. tethereal -D says there are no interfaces. tethereal: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done However ifconfig -a shows: en0: flags=4e080863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64B IT,PSEG> inet 172.17.28.54 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.17.28.255 lo0: flags=e08084b<UP,BROADCAST,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,GROUPRT,64BIT> inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 127.255.255.255 inet6 ::1/0 I have no idea what might be the reason. Can anybody give me a hint? thanks Matthias
