Andreas,
The privileges are "crw-------- root, wheel" on the /dev/bpf files.
All privs are the same.
The firewall is disabled.
The customer applied Apple's security update to the box and the port
went back to allowing PROMISC mode again. Something in that update
must have either fixed the problem or reset all the settings back to
factory defaults.
Thanks,
Chris

I have a xServe intel box whose ethernet port refuses to go into
promiscuous mode. I have tried tcpdump and my own program. I know
it is not going into promiscuous mode in the fact that it is not
passing unicast traffic. It's twin port has no problem.
When I had the box at my business it was not a problem and then I
shipped it to the customer and this problem showed up. When I run
my program or tcpdump the ifconfig shows that it is not in PROMISC
mode. This is port en0. En1 has no problem when I use it.
These are the ethernet ports on the motherboard.
The xServe is running 10.5.1 server.
Anybody have a clue on how to get it back to PROMISC mode?
Thanks,
Chris
