Hmm, yeah.
Actually, it does help; with only some 'minor' complaints:
-- there's still no manpages for 'getpcap' etc.
(although the cap_to_text manpage is pretty good).
-- No one has maintained this thing since 1999 ...
It needs a home, either at savannah.gnu.org or at sourceforge
My question is: is there any active maintainer for this thing? any
mailing lists? I'm vaguely thinking of tweaking the thing, but have
nowhere to send patches ... any suggestions where a home (i.e. cvs,
mailing list, bug tracker) for this thing should be created?
