@(#) $Header: INSTALL,v 1.25 96/07/21 04:02:01 leres 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://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc-*.tar.gz After libpcap has been built (either install it with "make install" and "make install-incl" or make sure both the libpcap and tcpdump source trees are in the same directory), edit the BINDEST and MANDEST paths in Makefile.in and 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" (and optionally "make install-man). 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 tcpdump is shipped with some systems, for example, DEC/OSF and BSD/386. Remember to remove or rename the installed binary when upgrading. 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. However, we are not interested in ascii packet printer patches. We believe adding this feature would make it too easy for crackers who do not have the programming skills needed to write a password sniffer to grab clear text passwords.
