- Hello.
-
- This is the rpcspy/nfstrace package.
-
- It is described in detail in the paper "NFS Tracing by Passive Network
- Monitoring", which appeared in the January, 1992 USENIX conference.
-
- You'll need either a DEC machine running ULTRIX (with the
- packetfilter installed in the kernel) or a Sun running SunOS
- 4.x (with NIT). Or you'll need to do a bit of hacking.
-
- The package differs slightly from the version in the paper:
-
- - The handle->name translation facility has been removed. It's just too
- fragile to include in the general release. If you need it, contact me
- directly and I'll be happy to mail you the code.
-
- - The output format is a wee-bit different.
-
- - The IBM-RT Enet filter version is also not included, since I seem to be
- the only person in the world running it. RTs are really too slow
- for this anyway.
-
-
- To configure the package, edit the makefile in the obvious (to me at least)
- way.
-
- Note that the not all versions of SunOS NIT have working versions of the
- packet timestamp mechanism. Try to set the -DSTAMPS option in the makefile,
- and if that doesn't work, take it out.
-
- If you are actually going to use this to gather traces, I'd like to hear
- from you! Please send email, and share your results/traces if your organization
- will allow it.
-
-
- I maintain a mailing list of users for updates, etc. Send me mail to be
- added to it.
-
- Happy tracing.
