Does anyone know if there is a command in os x simlar to snoop, and what it is?
I was trying to debug this network problem i was having, and was quite upset that i had to switch to my sun to run snoop :-(

I'm not sure what snoop is but if you need to look at packets you might want to checkout <a href="http://www.versiontracker.com/moreinfo.fcgi?id=13007&db=mac" target="_blank">MacSniffer</a>.

I didn't know what snoop was but if you want a packet sniffer, I don't think there's a better one than Ethereal! If you really want to understand the packet, it's indispensable. It translates nearly every part of the packet into human readable form. It requires XWindows for the best version. Highlighting any part of any view highlights the correspinding parts of the raw, descriptive and text views.
There is a command line version that present;s all the information but the GUI version is much better.

I have found that tcpdump (comes with OS X) provides the best performance for capturing packets. You can write them to a file.
Then, I compiled Ethereal and run it under XTools.
I use Ethereal to open my files captured with tcpdump, then I can extract streams and look into the various parts of the frames. It provides information and data from all layers and can interpret the streams of many protocols.
