Hi,
Has anyone had any problems running libpcap based network packet capture programs on kernel 2.4 based systems?
I have some programs which compile and run perfectly on FreeBSD and even Win NT. However, when I compile and run them on RH 7.1 using the default libpcap which comes installed with the system, the program executes all right, the code enters the pcap_dispatch loop and then goes into pcap_read, but for some reason the callback refuses to trigger. As a cross check, I ran tcpdump and Ethereal, both of which work OK (I verified that tcpdump is a dynamically linked binary, so that it uses the default libpcap shared library to which my code also links).
Any ideas?
Regards,
Krishnan
