Subject: Re: Capturing Packets -- Ethereal
The thing to do is to install wireshark on the system without X.
Then from a machine with X:
ssh -Xf user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wireshark
Yours is the coolest answer, though the others were also helpful.
It's cool, but you have to contend with the traffic generated by the ssh
and X session overhead in your display and/or captured data, or exclude
the IP address of the X server from display. This may or may not be an
issue for you.
Yah, thats a good point. X generates a lot of traffic. If you're not on
the localnet, you may not be able use this method.
In which case you should look into nx. It allows you to make X
connections over lower speed networks, but it may require that you run X
on the remote machine... I don't have much experience with it (one of
these days).
