>Description:

tcpdump is unable to write capture files (for further analysis with wireshark
for example):

 # tcpdump -i wm0 -w /tmp/client.cap
 tcpdump: /tmp/client.cap: No such file or directory

checking ktrace output shows that at the time of the open() call, tcpdump
is already chrooted to /var/chroot/tcpdump (which is owned by root and mode
0755), and also setuser _tcpdump. This causes even local paths (./client.cap)
to fail.

Tcpdump should open the output file before the chroot, everything else is
going to confuse the user.

 bad@ points out that the -C option makes this aproach non trivial, so
 proper priv separation would be needed.

 Hello,
 I just tried, with root user, this command  "tcpdump -w /tmp/poc.cap"
 with a fresh NetBSD 9.2 box, and it's working fine!
 Maybe you can close the bug?
 Best regards,
 Guillaume.
