A search on Deja.com for postings with the keywords "tcpdump incoming
10.20" in "comp.sys.hp.hpux" turned up one with the subject line

	Re: Did someone made tcpdump working on 10.20 ?

   Two things:
   1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g.  PHNE_18173
  for   s700/10.20).
   2. You must use
   echo 'lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W1' | /usr/bin/adb -w /stand/vmunix
  /dev/kmem   You can insert this e.g. into /sbin/init.d/lan

You should probably ask Lutz (Lutz Jaenicke,
"Lutz.Jaenicke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx") if you have any further questions
about this - I've never worked with HP-UX 10.20, and have only done a
little bit on an HP-UX 11.00 machine at work.
