>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.

>How-To-Repeat:
s/a

>Fix:
n/a
