I need a command line based packet sniffer. (I would use tethereal but this system has no graphical stuff.) ALl it needs to do is collect raw packets for analysis by ethereal on a different box.

Thank you, Lucky Leavell

man tcpdump Ethereal can read tcpdump captures. Also, you can always run Ethereal remotely, thanks to X. I do that, with my firewall, which doesn't have a graphical desktop. I just use ssh -X to the firewall and run Ethereal. Incidentally, if you do that, you don't want to monitor the port you're using to access that computer, unless you filter what you capture.
