Re: where can I find tcpdump for solaris

["Mike O'Connor" <mjo () dojo mi org>]

:Snoop is a different, vastly inferior network sniffer. It isn't even
:remotely as good as tcpdump.
:
:To answer the original question, the "standard" tcpdump distribution
:will compile and run on solaris just fine.

I've found that Sun's snoop interpreter does the best interpretation
of NFS/NIS/ONC traffic, which shouldn't be that surprising.  It has
its niche (though probably not in the firewall area).  I believe one
can convert the snoop/RFC 1761 binary format to tcpdump binary format
using tcptrace, if they wanted the best of both worlds.
