Where in Ethereal bug 895 are they using both together? The command they show has two "-b" flags, and a "-t" flag with "a" as the argument, but no "-a" flag. As for cases where one would use both of them, one might, for example, want to capture traffic for 24 hours and store it in a series of files, with each file being at most 10 megabytes. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-users
