I have Linux kernel 2.2.19 on one system and OpenBSD 2.8 on another. When I run tcpdump on both systems for a while and stop, I see "xxxxx packets dropped" on OpenBSD and not so on Linux. I don't know which version of libpcap is being used on either system. (Please let me know if there is a way to find out). On Linux, during the kernel compile I did select 'IP Accounting' option which should give me accurate # of packets getting dropped. Then again, I am being told that the IP accounting info is largely dependent on the libpcap. How do I get accurate count of the packets dropped? I do not want any packets to be dropped by the kernel, and want all the packets to be processed by the filters. How do I increase the buffer to avoid packets from being dropped? Thanks for any info. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.home.net/subba9/ GPG public key ID 27FC9217 Key fingerprint = 2B4C 498E 1860 5A2B 6570 5852 7527 882A 27FC 9217 - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
