You'll have to wait for the ipfilter port to Solaris 7, or fall back to
Solaris 2.6. Snoop is not a packet filter. It's a network traffic sniffer.
The rules allow you to select which packets to capture (or which to view from
a previous session's capture file).
Solaris 7 is a bit too new and a bit too different from its predecessors to
use as a firewall just yet. You'll also run into problems with commercial
firewall software that does not yet support it. Fwiw, FWTK 2.1 builds and
runs quite nicely on Solaris 7, but it's a proxy firewall, not a filter
firewall.
