I use the 'ipmon' facility that is part of the ipfilter package.  It works just
fine as long as what you want to watch is traffic into and out of the machine
you're running it on.  The only time I use tcpdump is when I need to watch
traffic on the network that *isn't* to/from the machine I'm using for
monitoring.  I think it's both a TLS and included in 5.0.6.
