I have a Debian box running 2.6.15 that only logs traffic destined for

If the filter on dsniff is set to only log traffic destined to the box
then all other packets sent through the proxy is ignored.

There  is 5Mbit of proxy traffic going through the nic and it
doesn't see any of it.  If I start pop3 on the box and telnet to it from
a remote PC it gets logged in dsniff properly.

Telnet is destined to the box and is therefore shown on dsniff.
Or have I just completely misunderstood the scenario?
