[comp.sys.sun] Etherfind and 4.1

zeleznik@cs.utah.edu (Mike Zeleznik) (12/14/90)

Etherfind does not work on our Sparcstation running 4.1.  Other ethernet
services work fine, and etherfind used to work on 4.0.something. Below is
what I see.  We probably did something stupid.  Can anyone help?

1 ski# etherfind dst ski.utah.edu

Thanks to all who responded.  We need to configure the kernel for the
necessary streams (GENERIC_SMALL did not do it, but GENERIC would have).
Need to include these devices (see comments in the GENERIC file):

pseudo-device   snit            # streams NIT
pseudo-device   pf              # packet filter
pseudo-device   nbuf            # NIT buffering module
pseudo-device   clone           # clone device
