tcpdump thanks and wishlist

["Alan McKay" <alan.mckay () gmail com>]

Hi folks,

Thanks so much for this wonderful tool!

I have one fairly minor wishlist item for your consideration.

When using the -C option to chunk-up files in to given sizes (I used
16Meg), how about instead of appending an incremental number to the
end of each new file, that we instead append a date and time to the
file name?   If and when doing so, please be sure to use Y2K compliant
international date format.

e.g.

basename_2008.04.18_10:38:14

I know that the files will have time stamps, but as soon as they get
copied the wrong way, those could disappear.   This will make it much
easier when looking at a glance what file is required.

thanks,
-Alan
