Various directories and files for Passive Capture do not reside with the installation
directory, which defaults to /usr/local/ctccap. Some paths are directly used by the
software. Some are user configurable, and some are touch through the course of normal administration
and usage of the software.
The following list describes various directories and files outside of the installation directory.
This lists assumes that you are using tpcinstaller.sh date and version: 2007/07/05,
