Also, what kind of device is tun0?  If it's an artificial device, libpcap
may be capturing against the base - does tcpdump work??

tun0 is a software interface, in this case being used by the usermode PPP daemon. tcpdump works fine against it. Also, dc0 and tun0 have nothing to do with each other; the PPPoE link that tun0 is handling goes over de0. dc0 is an internal LAN interface.


There is some special handing

#if defined(__FreeBSD__)
  if(strncmp(myGlobals.device[deviceId].name, "tun", 3) == 0) {
    myGlobals.device[deviceId].datalink = DLT_PPP;
    traceEvent(CONST_TRACE_NOISY, "DLT: Device %d [%s] is \"tun\", treating
as DLT_PPP",
               deviceId,
               myGlobals.device[deviceId].name);
  } else

Do you see that message?

No, I don't...in fact, ntop never mentions tun0 at all. It seems to be totally ignoring the interface I specified on the command line.
