Solaris

Dear all

I would like to know that is there any way to find out that any client of solaris server, is fetching data from a server, in that situationng server can log what data which is flowing in the form of packet, client is fetching from the server through any application or any utility.

I also know that we can use TCP tracing to log client IP address and Service name. But here my concern is about to log data

King Regards

If your server is only serving HTTP and FTP files, for instance, you can turn on logging so the you can report on which files were served. You might need a 3rd party package such as Apache and ProFTP to enable such logging. If you are doing something more, (NFS, SSH) you will have to go to a deeper level...

If I recall correctly, Solaris has some form of fine-grained accounting control. I believe every system call can be traced in this way. What you want to trace are all open() system calls, and log the files that are opened. Then you can exclude from this report all the normal stuff (Shared libraries, executables, etc). What you have left is data (and configuration files). Google "Solaris accounting".

I suppose you should have a syslog server in your environment?

Thanks to Otheus and Incedible for the kind Help
