Hi everybody,

just a short description of what i am
trying to do!

I have two machines with different OS
running Ethereal. The first one,
which is working quiet well is "Tru64".
The problems i have with is 
"unfortunately" Linux (Gentoo).
Here the command, which i execute.

ssh user@machine "/usr/local/sbin/tcpdump
-i qfe1 -xX -w-" |ethereal -i - -n -k -S -l -p 


I start a tcpdump on a remote machine
and write its output to "stdin"  ( -w- ). This is piped
through the ssh-tunnel
into Ethereal by using the "-i
-" option. I got the following error presented by Ethereal.

Error: The capture session could
not be initiated (socket: Operation not permitted) . Please make sure you
have 
sufficient permissions , and
that you have the proper interface or pipe specified."

I got this error even if i start ethereal
directly with the option "-i -". As i already said! On Tru64
it is working well!!!

Can anybody give me a hint what i am
doing wrong or how to fix this?

         
      Thanx!
