Hi,

 I posted a question a few days ago but I got any answer...  It was
 about using "-b" with ethereal :

 - Does it lose some packets (when the file is changed) ?
 - Are there any badly recorded packets in the end of the sniffs ?

 It seems that if you use NAI sniffer probes, when the probe changes
 its dump file some packets could be lost.  Is it the same with
 ethereal ?
