Hello,
I have installed ethereal for Solaris, could you please advise what is
the simple way to use it from command line? To capture SMPP traffic..
Any example please..
Thank you
Igor

Ah! Mystery solved. Thanks. :-)

I can see a big advantage to having an all-inclusive package: reasonably
frequently people ask me how to install Ethereal on their (basically
naked of add-on packages) Solaris systems but of course this involves
adding all the dependencies. If they're in a hurry I tend to suggest
they capture with 'snoop' and analyze later, on another machine, with
Ethereal.
However, I'd vote against doing away with the with-dependencies package
for those of us who already have all the dependencies installed (but
then again, I could just build my own).
And I'd vote for sunfreeware.com packages but that's just because that's
what I use.

Probably because it makes people feel better (thinking that there's last
chance of a weird incompatibility problems).
