Hi!

this maybe an old but post, but who knows he might still need this or someone
else in the future (like i just did...)

im not proposing this patch, but for sean (or others), you may see
http://www.wireshark.org/develop.html
and apply the patch below so you can get this stuff to work.

tshark.exe -r <file-capture> -T fields -e eth.src -e bootp.option.hostname

and it will give you tab delimited output of
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx      hostname


now I just had a new wishlist and (ill try to add it up to the wiki)

that tshark (or even wireshark) will have the ability to send the result of a
filter and construct it in a syslog message to send it to a central remote
syslog server.

imagine this:
using tshark to determine if the DHCP message transaction when port-mirror a
network, ex:

tshark -slog 192.168.1.1 -smsg "The DHCP server %ip.src% gave
%bootp.hw.mac_addr% the IP address: %bootp.ip.client%"


Thanks!!!

and it will send a message to a syslog server
