I think that if you're running at the same level as ip_debug, you shouldn't have an irrational fear of mdb, even with the "-w" option. If you do have that fear, or if you need any sort of comprehensible output, then you're better off in dtrace. If nothing else, you'll have *MUCH* lower overhead. (There are few better ways to turn a working busy server into a slug than to issue an errant "ip_debug 10".) -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
