Network sniffer

[jpmitchell]

I am currently testing my Linux (Red Hat 7.2) box for network security and I am looking for a packet sniffer to similar to 'snoop' (ships with Solaris). I downloaded 'dsniff' but when I to run the program. I get the following error message.
[root@froto root]# dsniff
dsniff: error while loading shared libraries: libnids.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
