I don't know exactly what all of these flags actually help, but ideally
something like:
sudo tcpdump -s 5000 -x -X -w filefordaniel.pcap port 5190
(note that aim connects to other hosts than just login.oscar, just in case
the problem is coming elsewhere)
If I get a pcap file I can read it with ethereal/wireshark. =)
Thanks!
(I don't know what all of the -s, -x, or -X flags are necessary.. I think
the -s is necessary but the -x and -X may only be for viewing, never
bothered to figure out ;D )
