Corey,
There isn't a package for Ethereal at sunfreeware, but there is at
ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com <ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com> , which is
linked to from www.ethereal.com <http://www.ethereal.com> . You need to
also load 4 other binary packages, ( I already had Perl loaded, so it's
actually 5 if you count Perl) so it's not for the faint of heart, but I did
finally get Ethereal to run on my Solaris 2.5.1 AW51E. It's kind of like a
graphical version of snoop, with some other nice added features. I haven't
tried rebooting my AW51E to see what the effect is, but I'm not expecting
any problems. Everything loads itself in a separate directory in /opt, and
I didn't see any major file system changes during the package adds.
Once you download all the required packages, you need to decompress them,
and un-tar them into /tmp. Then from /tmp, run "pkgadd -d <package name>".
There are man page packages included with each binary package, so it ends up
being something like 10 pkgadds overall, I think.
Thanks for the link to Ethereal. We'll be using this a lot.

I stand somewhat corrected. There is no port of Ethereal for
Solaris 2.5.1
on sunfreeware.com; there is one for Solaris 8, but it is an older
version.
Ethereal's web site says that it also supports Windoze, so I guess
you
could run it on an AW70 if the I/A nodebus driver supports
promiscuous
mode.
Having said that, though, I've always run it on a laptop under Linux
or
FreeBSD. You can hook it to one side of the nodebus using a DNBT.
I bet
that modern PCs have enough horsepower to capture both sides of the
nodebus
simultaneously, using 2 NICs and 2 DNBTs. Or you can use 2 PCs.
It's not hard to get going, but I generally have to have the user
manual
out every time, because I use it so infrequently.
Corey
Thanks for the info. Could you give me a few details on how to set
up
Ethereal. Can it run directly on an AW or can I load it on a pc and
tie to
the node bus?
Brian
