Note that we probably don't support HP-UX.

(The bulk of this was written between 1999 and 2005, and hasn't been
updated since. Should we just remove it?)

Note: We *probably* don't support HP-UX any more, at least not in the
sense that you can run `configure; make` or `cmake ... ; make` and
expect everything to work out of the box. At the time of this writing
(August 2017) the most recent version of Wireshark available at the
HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre is 1.10.5 and the most recently
reported HP-UX bug (#6550) was from 2012. The Porting and Archive Centre
provides libraries required to build TShark, and while the GTK+ packages
are current (2.24.31) they are 32-bit only. Recent Qt packages are not
provided.

Two things:
1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g. PHNE_18173
for s700/10.20).
2. You must use
echo 'lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W1' | /usr/bin/adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
You can insert this e.g. into /sbin/init.d/lan

What you are seeing is expected, un-patched, behaviour for an HP-UX
system. On 11.00, you need to install the latest lancommon/DLPI
patches, and then the latest driver patch for the interface(s) in use.

At that point, a miracle happens and you should start seeing outbound
traffic.

Thanks a lot. I have this problem on several machines running HPUX
10.20 and 11.00. The machines where patched up before y2k so did not
know what to think. Anyway I have now installed PHNE_19766,

: Has anyone ported tcpdump (or something similar) to HP/UX 9.x?
I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
the (then optional) STREAMS product. This would bring DLPI, which is
what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.
I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
since HP-UX 9.X is off the pricelist (well, maybe 9.10 for the old 68K
devices).

Your best bet is to be up on 10.20 or better if that is at all
possible. If your hardware is supported by it, I'd go with HP-UX 11.

If you want to see the system's own outbound traffic, you'll never get
that functionality on 9.X, but it might happen at some point for 10.20
