Hi,

Thanks for the quick response.

I checked /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin

when I do: locate wireshark

I get a long response but these are the only folders:

/usr/share/wireshark
/usr/share/doc/ with some docs in it
/usr/lib64/wireshark
/etc/pam.d/wireshark
/etc/security/console.apps/wireshark

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wireshark_be.py

Is it possible I should be looking for something other than "wireshark" to execute?

Sincerely,
Mike

I'm running a cpanel server on centos 5.2. It keeps getting listed on CBL. CBL say wireshark can help me see what is going on with a specific IP address and when it is impersonating an other domain.

I have installed via ssh: yum install wireshark

That succeeded create the directory /usr/share/wireshark

root@example [/usr/share/wireshark]# wireshark -h
-bash: wireshark: command not found

Any idea on what I'm missing?

An item in root's $PATH that refers to the directory in which Wireshark was installed?

See whether it's installed in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or some X11 or GNOME binary directory.

Should I remove the YUM install and compile my own?

You could, but that's harder and more likely to have problems.

When I look in the directory /usr/share/wireshark I see some HTML files. Is this supposed to be a web based interface?

No. /usr/share isn't where binaries are put - it's for stuff that can be shared between machines with different instruction sets ("/usr/ share" was a Sun invention, for use with diskless workstations of 3 different instruction sets, namely 68K, x86, and SPARC). HTML files are text, and instruction-set-independent; those are HTML versions of man pages and some templates used for various features such as mapping of IP addresses to locations.
