SEQ not listening?

[n2099]

So I got it working a while ago on VMware, thanks to y'all...but the hypervisor layer added a lot of lag on the UI. I've since moved to a new setup, which I'm having issues with:

• OpenWRT w/port-mirroring
• Raspberry-Pi 5 running SEQ

I'm trying to debug the port-mirroring, I think I have it setup right, now I suspect that SEQ is not listening:

root@eyes:~# netstat -pant | grep LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      782/cupsd
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      889/sshd: /usr/sbin
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6011          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      12093/sshd: root@pt
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:6010          0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      11062/sshd: root@pt
tcp6       0      0 ::1:631                 :::*                    LISTEN      782/cupsd
tcp6       0      0 ::1:6011                :::*                    LISTEN      12093/sshd: root@pt
tcp6       0      0 ::1:6010                :::*                    LISTEN      11062/sshd: root@pt
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      889/sshd: /usr/sbin

I would expect SEQ proc to list there, with the port (5555?)?

Startup looks clean to me:

root@eyes:~# showeq -i eth0 --ip-address=192.168.1.122

Nope, SEQ works differently than MySEQ - there's no socket involved. SEQ captures the packets directly from the ethernet interface (in your case, eth0).

As long as you're getting EQ traffic on eth0 (via port mirroring or otherwise) then that's all you need.
