I have tried to use etherfind(8) on our Sun-3/80 (SunOS 4.0.3_EXPORT) to
monitor incoming/outgoing packets to/from the Sun itself ('mwuk'):

        etherfind -v -i le0 -host mwuk

Etherfind seems to display ARP packets in both directions, but only
incoming TCP packets, not outgoing TCP packets.  It behaves the same
whether or not I have etherd running.  Is this a bug/limitation or am I
doing something wrong?
