Boy, do I ever! :-) Fortunately for you, I've been working on and off for months with the LBL crew to get their code to work on Ultrix 4.x. The release announced yesterday, available from ftp.ee.lbl.gov, compiles and runs just fine on Ultrix if you make the appropriate modifications to the Makefile. (They distribute a makefile that uses gcc, bison, and flex instead of cc, yacc, and lex, but all you have to do is change the Makefile symbols.) One problem: it really helps to have the "mkdep" command available if you want to use their Makefile, and vanilla Ultrix doesn't include "mkdep". So, I've put a version on gatekeeper.dec.com:pub/net/tcpdump-2.0.tar.Z that has an Ultrix-ready Makefile and includes the mkdep script. Just uncompress, unpack, and type "make". Note that binary files end up in a subdirectory called "mips-ultrix" or "vax-ultrix", as appropriate. My usual rule: don't ask me to mail you a copy. I won't respond. -Jeff
