Has anyone ported tcpdump (or something similar) to HP/UX 9.x?

I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
the (then optional) STREAMS product. This would bring DLPI, which is
what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.

I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
since HP-UX 9.X is off the pricelist (well, maybe 9.10 for the old 68K
devices).

Your best bet is to be up on 10.20 or better if that is at all
possible. If your hardware is supported by it, I'd go with HP-UX
11. If you want to see the system's own outbound traffic, you'll never
get that functionality on 9.X, but it might happen at some point for
10.20 and 11.X.
