Hi,

Is it possible to read in and then export a tcpdump capture
file from the command-line using tethereal?

What I want to do is to read in a file that was captured
with the tcpdump which is installed by default on Redhat 6.1,
and then export the capture file to a format which can
be read by the tcpdump from LBL.  (We have some reporting tools
which use the "standard" libpcap for parsing tcpdump trace files).

The capture files I have are around 15 megs, so they are too big
to load into the GUI and then export.

Is what I want to do doable?

Thanks.
