Nope. I ckecked this. Nothing is listening on port 2002. If i start 
rpcapd with the -b option to listen on a different address (my VPN 
address) the error doesn't come up but the problem still exists.

Look:
rpcapd # netstat -an | grep 2002
rpcapd # ./rpcapd -b x.x.x.10
Press CTRL + C to stop the server...
I'm exiting from the child loop
The other host terminated the connection.
Child terminated

I had a look into the daemon.c source file and i guess that the error 
seems to occure here:
if (sock_recv(pars->sockctrl, (char *) &header, sizeof(struct 
rpcap_header), SOCK_RECEIVEALL_YES, errbuf, PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE) == -1)
     goto end;

But i'm not a C programmer to figure this out.
