Do you have a rarpd in your network?

Can you sniff the Sun's network traffic?  Short of being able to setup
a switch with port mirroring, I always found using an old 10 Mbit/s
ethernet hub good for the purpose of sniffing really all traffic from
a certain machine.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
