"tcpdump: listening on eth0"

and then nothing, even when I restart the router. Does tcpdump work
outside of tcpd, syslogd, and all other programs? I think so, but hey...
That would indicate some malfunction or misconfiguration in the router.

When I hit ^C, tcpdump prints

<number> packets received by filter

That's <number> on all ports, yes?
