For the record, the next release of Red Hat will also include
tcpdump-3.6.2. For RHL users, the upgrade is rather painless if you
rebuild the src.rpm at:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/
It's based on my packaging previously posted here, and contains some
customizations such as the -n ==> resolve portnumbers patch.
