Quoting Freddy Freeloader <fredddy@cableone.net>:
connection errors. Since I've upgraded to sarge I get the following
error when attempting to use tcpdump: get i f addrs: connection refused.
I have what I'm assuming to be is related in ethereal too. When
attempting to do a packet capture the "interface" menu box is empty and
ethereal hangs at that point. So, I'm assuming that both tcpdump and
ethereal are both being denied access to my ethernet connections.
Anyone know if these are known bugs or do I just have something
misconfigured? Everything worked perfectly under woody, and I've done
nothing different than I did with woody so I'm assuming these are bugs,
but as a noob I'm not positive.
I'm using both tcpdump and ethereal on both sarge and sid, so
there must be a problem with your setup. Are you root? Only
root is allowed to capture. Do you have a stock Debian kernel
or a home-brew kernel? Maybe your .config is missing sth...
