That wouldn't cause a sniffer not to see packets from the machine on
which it's running; that's due to HP-UX issues, as per the stuff in the
README.hpux file.

It would, however, cause it not to see packets neither sent to nor from
that machine; to do that, port mirroring or something such as that would
be required, as per your note.
