nettl start problem

Rasheed Tamton — Wed, 08 Sep 2004 03:24:57 GMT

When I try to start the nettl command I get the below errors:

#nettl -start
Initializing Network Tracing and Logging...
nettl : Unable to start the reader daemon process which writes
trace and log information to a trace/log file.
Can anyone please let me know what to do. Also I need an alternate good and easy nettrace utility. Can anyone please suggest the software and the place where I can get it.

On syslog I find the below msg:
Sep 8 11:11:00 nettl[16685]: nettl starting up.
Sep 8 11:11:02 ntl_reader[16725]: Fail to attach to shared memory
Sep 8 11:11:02 ntl_reader[16725]: Fail to P semaphore
Sep 8 11:11:02 ntl_reader[16725]: Errno(28): No space left on device
Sep 8 11:11:02 ntl_reader[16725]: Port not in right operating state

Thanks

I already installed the ethereal. But how I use it. Is there anyway I can specifically check the traffic to and from a particular IP.

Thanks

/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't find path for shared library: libz.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory

Hi Sri Ram,

I did as in the thread and now I get a new error. I searched and could not find the related depot.

/usr/local/bin/ethereal
/usr/lib/dld.sl: Can't open shared library: /usr/local/lib/libglib.sl
/usr/lib/dld.sl: No such file or directory
Abort(coredump)

Any advise.

Thanks

Hi,

did you install all dependencies for ethereal ?

Run-time dependencies: expat gettext glib gtk+ libiconv libpcap zlib

Hi,

This doc talks about the pre-requisite packages for installing Ethereal and also about where you can download them from:
http://ethereal.netarc.jp/docs/user-guide-sp/#ChBuildInstallBeforeBuild (See the section, "Before you build Ethereal")

Hopefully, this should solve your problem.
