Hi,

I'm trying to use a pipe to analyze what's going on on a remote host. I found
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes , but when I try:
  wireshark -k -i <(ssh rxa tshark -w - not tcp port 22)
The wireshark window just freezes.
Capture works, according to what's displayed on stderr (packet count
increases).

I also tried:
tshark -i <(ssh rxa tshark -w - not tcp port 22)
But it doesn't display anything, except what's sent written on stderr by the
remote tshark instance, even after 300+ packets have been captured.

Any ideas?
