Hi,

i dont know crap about HPUX...but i do know about other Unix platforms,
so I am successfully fumbling my way around a HPUX system....

What i need to know is if tcpdump or snoop has a native equilivent on
HPUX...Im not able to install either and I need to do some packet
capture.


Any help would be appreciated :)

Daniel

There is tcpdump.
And even Ethereal.
Please check the Internet Express DVD in your HPUX media.

Hi Daniel,

Check out /usr/sbin/nettl, it's the native hpux tool. Upon reading the
man page you will become quickly enlightened (especially if you know
tcpdump/snoop).

Or you could download tcpdump from "The Porting And Archive Centre for
HP-UX"

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/

Have fun,
Dave

If you have compilers installed on the system (not sure if the bundled
compiler will suffice) I prefer to build from scratch:
http://www.tcpdump.org/ - note that one does _NOT_ really need flex
and bison for tcpdump, one just has to make sure that some of the
%settings in one of the .l (?) files are large enough because HP's
lex/yacc won't automagically increase them.  I send the occasional
patch bumping those when I see them getting close to a limit.
