install

This directory contains source code for tcpdump, a tool for network monitoring and data acquisition

@(#) $Header: /tcpdump/master/tcpdump/INSTALL,v 1.47 2000/12/16 09:07:45 guy Exp $ (LBL)

If you have not built libpcap, do so first.  See the README
file in this directory for the ftp location.

You will need an ANSI C compiler to build tcpdump. The configure script
will abort if your compiler is not ANSI compliant. If this happens, use
the GNU C compiler, available via anonymous ftp:

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc/

After libpcap has been built (either install it with "make install" or
make sure both the libpcap and tcpdump source trees are in the same
directory), run ./configure (a shell script).  "configure" will
determine your system attributes and generate an appropriate Makefile
from Makefile.in.  Now build tcpdump by running "make".

If everything builds ok, su and type "make install". This will install
tcpdump and the manual entry. By default, tcpdump is installed with
group execute permissions. The group used depends on your os. In
addition, BPF packet access is controlled by permissions to
/dev/bpf0. In any case, DO NOT give untrusted users the capability of
running tcpdump. Tcpdump can capture any traffic on your net,
including passwords.

Note that most systems ship tcpdump, but usually an older version.
Remember to remove or rename the installed binary when upgrading.

If you use Linux, this version of libpcap is known to compile and run
with 2.0.25 and more modern, and 2.2.x kernels.  It is guaranteed not
to work with 1.X kernels.

If your system is not one which we have tested tcpdump on, you may have
to modify the configure script and Makefile.in. Please send us patches
for any modifications you need to make.

Please see "PLATFORMS" for notes about tested platforms.
