ANSWERS
=======

At NIT,
>From Glenn.Satchell@uniq.com.au (Glenn Satchell - Uniq Professional Services)
  /dev/nit is the 'Network Interface Tap'. This is a feature of SunOS 4.x
  - it is _not_ part of Solaris 2.x. It is used for looking at raw
  network packets before they get processed by the various network
  stacks.

  The problem is not with your system, but with etherman - it needs to be
  ported to Solaris 2.3.

>From james.chapman@legend.bt.co.uk (James Chapman)
  /dev/nit is the streams interface to the ethernet drivers for SunOS 4.1.x. The
  ethernet drivers do not talk streams so /dev/nit was an additional device
  that allowed you to talk streams to them.
  In Solaris 2.x you talk to the ethernet drivers directly because they
  already talk streams

And others .....

At etherman on Solaris2.3,
>From Kevin Martinez <lps@rahul.net>

  To make etherman run on our Solaris 2.3 machine, I made the following
  changes:

  cd /usr/openwin/lib
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0 libXext.so.5.0
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libX11.so.4 libX11.so.5.0
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXaw.so.5 libXaw.so.5.0
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXmu.so.4 libXmu.so.5.0
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 libXt.so.5.0
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXmu.so.4 libXmu.so.5
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXt.so.4 libXt.so.5
  ln -s /usr/openwin/lib/libXext.so.0 libXext.so.5

And others .....

WHAT I HAVE DONE
================

 I made symbolic link library and running etherman(version 1.1a for Solaris2).
 It run any error.
