Why ? tcpdump *is* supposed to dump tcp/ip packets that it has sniffed on the network to a file, right ? So why would it be so difficult to let tcpdump make that 'packet-capture-file' a rotating file, instead of an ever-increasing-in-size file ? Ive worked with some commercial packet sniffers in the past that let you do exactly the same thing, some even include an option to 'stop' the capture when the filesize reaches X mb, or 'wrap' the file, and throw out the oldest entry's. Anyways, if youve got a better suggestion for a standard unix tool that can accomplish that, im dying to know about it... ;) Sincerely, J.Smith - This is the TCPDUMP workers list.
