Firewall Wizards: Re: tcpdump on my firewall

[Greg Poirier <poirierg () corp earthlink net>]

firewall?  This could actually come in handy when diagnosing network
issues that involve your firewall.

If anything.. I could more than likely find literature supporting the
installation of tcpdump on a firewall.
