Is there any chance of changing the default snap length of tcpdump to be a few bytes bigger ? With pf on RELENG_7, the default of 96 is too short now. So doing just a

listening on pflog0, link-type PFLOG (OpenBSD pflog file), capture size 96 bytes 06:50:57.651128 rule 7/0(match): pass in on bge0: 190.73.138.253.2020 > xx.7.141.12.25: tcp 28 [bad hdr length 0 - too short, < 20]

Going to -s100 seems to be a safe value and avoids the "bad header" errors.


Thank you! This just saved me some time i guess. I saw this on a 7.0-RC firewall a few days ago and wondered what that could mean. I didn't have time to investigate yet and just now read your mail :-)

I think others could also be confused by this, so i think increasing the snap length would make sense.

Cheers,
Florian
