- I'd call nettl(1m) a workaround rather than a solution.
-
- Not that nettl isn't useful, but then it isn't tcpdump(8) either.
- There is a lot of value in having tcpdump(8) ported over to HPUX.
- Ignoring the fact that there is an installed base of folks familiar
- with tcpdump(8) who don't want to learn a new utility, nettl(1m) and
- tcpdump(8) don't quite do the same things.
-
- Again, I don't think the port is more than a couple day hack if one
- has access to HPUX kernel sources and the inclination.
