Does anyone know how to open the ethernet interface on an ultrix system
in promiscous mode in order to receive all packets for all protocols for
all destination addresses. This is make a program similar to the tcpdump
program for sun's. I believe that is has to do with using raw sockets and
then binding the socket to the right device, but I can't find any documentation
on how to do this.
