I have been extremely impressed with the Sniffer (Network General), not least
because there are optional protocol analysis modules for all your
favorite protocols, including Sun RPC and NFS. I reckon it's already saved me
about a week of debug time on one thorny issue. It's everything
that SunOS "etherfind" could be if somebody focussed a couple of person-years
of intensive effort on it, but it's here and now. (Mind you, if somebody
DID write an "ultrafind" for the Sun it would be a lot cheaper for most
of us... Network General charges more for a Compaq than we do for
a 3/50....:-)
