[ARGUS] bug?

[Peter Van Epp]

	So, I had the thought that I'm typing this from a lightly loaded 
(because its being tested to replace our current main timeshare machine)
Sun Vsomething or the other on Solaris 9 with a Netapp providing disk I/O
which would be the high end of argus processing power (the real high end in
terms of cost for sure :-)), however there is no libpcap library here (yet
at least, looks like I may have to install a local one) and it used to be 
the clients were happy with that, but apparantly not any more:

	OK, maybe we need to say we know there is no libpcap ...
