Hello,

Why not ? You can download and install TCPDUMP or Ethereal from Internet Express package,

Shalom Cenoce,

Internet Express 11i v1

Internet Express 11i v2
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXIEXP1123

Note that tcpdump is usually installed by default on HP-UX and can with difficulty perform much of the network sniffing that any other utility can perform. With a quick check of the command line functionality and perhaps a grep filter, it will sniff for you very nicely.

Hello,

The nettl and netfmt packet sniffing utilities are bundled with the HP-UX operating system.

# man nettl
