Hi all,

I recently became aware of a utility called Wireshark (apparently formerly 
'EtherReal"), and was showing a running copy on Windoze.

It apprears that it would be awsome for diagnosing network issues (such as 
DoS attacks, Email bombs etc.

My question is:

Does the version in /usr/ports/net/wireshark require X11 to run, or can it 
be run from the command line with straight text output?

(I dont have/want X on the servers).
