[ale] Ethereal

You may need to increase the amount of data that 
Ethereal (which is now called wireshark) grabs per packet.  I know that tcpdump by default only grabs something like the first 80 bytes of each packet  I'm not sure what ethereal does in this regard, but i suspect that it is similar.

Hi,

I am using Ethereal to sniff the network card on my PC.  When I 
access a page on a server that requires authorization (i.e., 
username/password that is triggered by </Directory/> in httpd.conf) 
the username nor password shows up in the Ethereal output.  I even 
tried using the encrypted form of the password.

Why is this true?

Thanks,

Terry Bailey
