I'm very impressed by it.

I did a lot of work decoding SMB, rfc1001 and netbeui packets (and
gave my work to the tcpdump guys several years ago...never saw it
make it in a newer distribution...
(it seems tcpdump is dead).

Turns out I had ucd-snmp-3.5 in /usr/local/lib and ucd-snmp-3.6.1 in /usr/lib.

I'm seeing lots of core dumps...
How have ethereal setuid root.   How do I have setuid programs
drop a core again? (I forgot the rules...)

Yes, on redhat the libpcap is in /usr/lib.
