Re: rpcap support?

[Gianluca Varenni <Gianluca.Varenni () riverbed com>]

A comment on this. In the last couple of years I've been actually thinking of dumping the rpcap support out of WinPcap. 
The reason is that such code is pretty much unmaintained, I struggle to have the patch compile on Windows every time, 
let linux (and all the other OSes supported by libpcap) aside. Having rpcapd support integrated into libpcap would 
definitely make my life much easier, but code maintenance can be an issue. 

Any thoughts on this?

Have a nice day

The kind ml software or admin first held the mail because it was 3k too large (43k > 40k) and then dropped the 
attachment. It can be downloaded (now in uncompressed form) from:
http://www-agrw.informatik.uni-kl.de/home/jmayer/remote-pcap-client.patch
This adapted patch has (at least) problems with "make releasetar" because it fails to package the new files.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft 
instead of technology.
