cant open PPA

 

cant open PPA

Hello,

i read some solutions for the error cant open PPA, i get this message when i try to use nmap or tcpdump or ethereal. I installed HPUX 11.0 and all
works, but then i must install some patches for
Cisco Works 2000 and after a time i need ethereal
it doesn??t work. I found some informations for this
problem, but can someone tell me, what i can do
to solve this problem. It seems to be a problem
with libcap, but i installed the latest version from
the hp porting center.

Berthold,

Someone else had an issue with this Friday. I installed libpcap from the porting center (binary), then tcpdump without any issues. Did you install libpcap?

Harry,

i installed libpcap 0.6.2 and
tcpdump 3.6.2 without errors.
I can start tcpdump and it says :
listening on lan0
but i see no packets.

Are you using it like this??:

/opt/tcpdump/sbin/tcpdump -i lan0 -n host 141.123.226.49

0 packets received by filter
0 packets dropped by kernel
