--- Comment #3 from Guy Harris <[email protected]> --- Note that, currently, you can't do authentication with rpcap using pcap_create()/pcap_activate(); if you need a user name and password to do an rpcap capture, you have to use pcap_open(). libpcap API changes will be required to support authentication (they will probably involve pcap_activate() returning error codes meaning "I need a user name and password" or "that user name and password aren't valid", so that, instead of a pcap_create()/pcap_activate() pair being sufficient, pcap_activate() would have to be done in a loop, looping until either 1) you succeed in opening or 2) the user says "I give up"). So, for now, remote captures should use pcap_open(), not pcap_create()/pcap_activate(). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
