Q I'm running Solaris 9 on a machine with one
Ethernet card, but a large number of virtual interfaces. I want to use snoop
to view the traffic on one of these virtual interfaces, but I'm not sure how
to do that. The following command doesn't seem to work:
snoop -d hme0:1
A Snoop is used to view packets on a physical interface,
not logical ones. There is no way to look only at a virtual interface. If you
need to snoop for traffic on this interface separately from the others, then I
suggest adding another physical network card. If you're looking for a particular
kind of traffic, you can always try limiting the snoop output by using regular
expressions.
Q I'm trying to build a stripped-down Solaris
8 server to act as our gateway. I tried removing the following NFS packages,
since this machine should never mount anything via NFS:
SUNWnfscr Network File System (NFS) client support (Root)
SUNWnfscu Network File System (NFS) client support (Usr)
SUNWnfscx Network File System (NFS) client support (Root) (64-bit)
SUNWnfssr Network File System (NFS) server support (Root)
SUNWnfssu Network File System (NFS) server support (Usr)
SUNWnfssx Network File System (NFS) server support (Root) (64-bit)
It turns out that SUNWvolu claims to depend on NFS, but I figured that was just
for using automounter, so I removed the NFS packages anyway. When I rebooted,
vold no longer worked, though, so obviously there's some deeper connection.
Why on earth would vold need NFS to mount things like CDROMs?
A vold treats everything like an NFS
filesystem mounted under /vol.
