User data capture doesn't work with argus-3.0.0.rc.25

[carter at qosient.com]

Hey Dietmar,
I'm not going to be able to change the coe for a few days, so I would suggest that you use ethereal, wireshark, or tcpdump to generate the packet file.

That way you get some additional validation that the problem may not be argus.

Hey Dietmar,
It maybe the interface type.  Your packet handler ArgusSllPacket(), may not make the correct call outs.  I'll take a look.

  Hello Carter,

while trying to test racluster, i couldn't get argus3 to also write in
libpcap output.

With the following argus3.conf file:

ARGUS_DAEMON=no
ARGUS_DEBUG_LEVEL=7
ARGUS_MONITOR_DATA=`hostname`
ARGUS_ACCESS_PORT=561
ARGUS_INTERFACE=ippp0
ARGUS_SET_PID=no
ARGUS_GO_PROMISCUOUS=yes
ARGUS_FLOW_STATUS_INTERVAL=10
ARGUS_GENERATE_START_RECORDS=no
ARGUS_GENERATE_RESPONSE_TIME_DATA=yes
ARGUS_GENERATE_JITTER_DATA=yes
ARGUS_GENERATE_MAC_DATA=yes
ARGUS_FILTER_OPTIMIZER=no
ARGUS_CAPTURE_DATA_LEN=1500
ARGUS_BIND_IP="127.0.0.1"
ARGUS_PACKET_CAPTURE_FILE="/var/log/argus3/ippp0/argus3-ippp0.cap"
ARGUS_OUTPUT_FILE="/var/log/argus3/ippp0/argus-ippp0.log"

starting as:

/usr/local/argus-3.0.0.rc.25/sbin/argus -F /etc/argus/argus3-ippp0.conf

The file /var/log/argus3/ippp0/argus3-ippp0.cap stays empty until i press Ctrl-C
Then it has 24bytes :-(
