You know, its funny, but I started this thread last night because of a problem with tcpdump, but everybody finds the quirk of my old kernels being deleted more interesting to discuss. I only mentioned the kernel problem in passsing in case it might be significant to diagnosing the tcpdump problem. So, to get this thread back on track, I repeat my original question: I use tcpdump as a component of an network monitoring tool and to feed the snort intrusion detecti0on system. I have done so for several years. After upgrading from the 2.4.20-24.9 to the 2.4.20-27.9 kernel, my tdpdump no longer functions properly. It is acting like perhaps the promiscuous mode is not taking effect, even though an ifconfig shows all the monitored interfaces to be in promiscuous mode. Has anybody else seen this? Is there a fix?
