I've just re-uploaded the gzipped tarball version of 
the tcpdump source code to 

  ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/tcpdump-smb

Don't know why it was removed.

You will need to tcpdump-smb.patch, the tcpdump source tarball, 
and the libpcap source.

If you have the gtk+ libs installed on your solaris box
you should probably check out Ethereal (http://www.zing.org)
as it produces much better (readable) output for decoding 
protocols.  It will also read in raw dump files from tcpdump,
snoop, and MS's netmon.
