It looks like the port respects the WITHOUT_X11 knob. I believe you get the command tshark if you don't have the GUI, which can do similar packet analysis and display in text form. I believe tshark can be used almost exactly like tcpdump for watching live traffic, but it can also read in tcpdump trace files. -- Chris Cowart Network Technical Lead Network & Infrastructure Services, RSSP-IT UC Berkeley
