Summary:                    bmon on solaris 8 will not use multicast packets for
network multicast packets
Description: 
On solaris 8 bmon will not display other hosts broadcasting bmon multicast
packets. I have confirmed with tcpdump that the multicat packets are
arriving. I use the following command for the slave device:
bmon -o null -O distribution
I use the following command for the master:
bmon -I distribution:multicast

I can see the multicast packets on the wire, but the bmon application is
ignorring them.

I just compiled from source for 2.0.1 and it still is not displaying the
other hosts sending multicast packets.

Interesting, it should work.

Does \"bmon -I distribution\" work?

Nope. This appears to be a bmon problem. Not a distribution problem. When I
compiled from source I am getting the same response. I am wondering if this
is a patch level thing. Does it work for you?

I reproduced the problem here too. But it seems to be a Solaris specific
problem, because it works on FreeBSD. I will get in contact with Thomas
Graf (the author of bmon).

bmon 2.1.0 is released, but it does not compile yet on Solaris. I\'m on
contact with the bmon autor.

I'm closing this bug, because it is not a packaging bug.
