Issue with tcpdump
Having problem with tcpdump command on RHEL. We are experiencing "Couldn't find user 'pcap'"
Example:
[root@server root]# tcpdump -i eth0 icmp
Couldn't find user 'pcap'
I need to solve this urgently.
Thanks in advance for the response.
Girish

Re: Issue with tcpdump
Long answer:
The install routine that adds the 'pcap' user sometimes doesn't do it properly. This has been reported to various buglists etc. but as yet doesn't appear to have been fully resolved.
Short answer/fix:
Manually add the user. Decent command line is in that URL.
