Ja, es ist ein weiter Weg von dieser Meldung bis zum "man
tcpdump" und Suche nach "snap" (und es liegt auch ueberhaupt
nicht nahe ...).

       -s     Snarf snaplen bytes of data from each packet rather
              than the default of 68 (with SunOS's NIT, the mini-
              mum is actually 96).  68 bytes is adequate for  IP,
              ICMP,  TCP and UDP but may truncate protocol infor-
              mation  from  name  server  and  NFS  packets  (see

       Note  that  name  server requests and responses tend to be
       large and the default snaplen of 68 bytes may not  capture
       enough  of  the  packet  to  print.   Use  the  -s flag to
       increase the snaplen if you need to seriously  investigate
       name server traffic.  `-s 128' has worked well for me.

       Note that NFS requests are very  large  and  much  of  the
       detail  won't be printed unless snaplen is increased.  Try
       using `-s 192' to watch NFS traffic.
