ADNS,
with Lua 5.1, with GnuTLS 2.4.1, with Gcrypt 1.4.4, without Kerberos, without

Running on Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-default, with libpcap version 1.0.0, GnuTLS

>From reading the rawshark(1) manpage my assumption was that rawshark
could be used like
$ /usr/bml/bin/rawshark -s -r test.pcap -d encap:EN10MB ...

However rawshark either expects the -r argument to be -
(read from stdin) or a pipe which results in the following error
message:

rawshark: ".../test.pcap" is neither an interface nor a pipe

The proposed rawshark.pod patch updates the -r description to
the implemented rawshark functionality.

The patch also applies to the current SVN version.
