Did the latest Centos4.x kernel break the ability to tcpdump with any
amount of traffic? Machines that used to be able to keep up now show
a few packets and stop - if you hit ^C they take a minute or so to do
anything, then show something like:
54 packets captured
18188 packets received by filter
18070 packets dropped by kernel
Before recent updates I almost never saw packets 'dropped by kernel'.
odd, not seeing that here.
1547 packets captured
1547 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
