[lug] OT: capturing network data on Solaris

[Rodger Wilson {I/O Software}]

I don't work in that area, and my suggestion may not seem that feasible.  But
this is what I would do if I were you.  Place a static variable in the driver,
that when turned on via /etc/system or adb would do a hex dump of the wanted
data via a call to cmn_err (CE_NOTE, "...",...);

Also you could find the symbols of the driver that you are using via nm.  Then
crash the system when you think the data is in memory.  Then you should be able
to track down the infomation you are looking for in the core file.

>Can anyone recommend a tool for Solaris (and preferably from Sun) to capture the data in a TCP packet?  We're troubleshooting a communication problem between a Solaris box and a single board computer.  Our system admin ran snoop with the verbose option for us, but all it showed us were the packet headers and not the data itself.  I found ethereal, but it is apparently from a third party and would prefer to stick with something from Sun.  I searched www.sun.com and docs.sun.com for libpcap, netcat, and ethereal and nothing came up.
