Not to sound like a pirate, but, Aye, I have the same issue. tcpdump
-w <filename> seams to only log 96 bytes of the packet, while for the
full message block to be there with AIM protocol packets you need to
gather the full packet, everything that goes over the wire. Sadly...
I've yet to find a command to boost up the max packet size capture on
tcpdump and I'd very much appreciate help with this issue also.
P.S. I'm running Linux (Gentoo) You?
