Howdy,
I'm looking for a packet sniffer. I thought etheral looked nice but it wants libs I don't have, and since I'm probably only going to use this thing once or twice I really don't want to start off on a
libpcap is needed by any sniffer, AFAIK.
what exactly do you want to sniff? just traffic? then tcpdump will do. if
you want a powerfull tcpdump-type sniffer, get snort. if you want
security-type sniffing, then get dsniff, which was designed specifically for
sniffing passwords. of course, you can find all this software on freshmeat.

error: failed build dependencies: libpcap >= 0.4 is needed by ethereal-0.8.9-1 ucd-snmp-devel is needed by ethereal-0.8.9-1 zlib-devel is needed by ethereal-0.8.9-1
What have any of the rest of you done? Should I just find and install
those libs, will they mess anything up? Or is there a better sniffer that I should try to get? Is there anything that works on SuSE 6.4 "straight outta the box"?
