Greetings, everyone.
I need some assistance in defending the recently added Linux server to
my boss. Over the last few months, we've been having intermittent
networking problems, and since the Linux server was the most recent
addition (server-wise) to the network, it's getting the blame.
So far, we've seen the NIS services die twice over a 3 month period and
the NFS service on a seperate NCR Unix box died this morning. I can't
see any reason why the Linux server would be "generating excess
traffic", as the charges go.
So, I need some way to prove the guilt or innocence of the Linux box.
I've been looking around for decent network sniffers, but am at a loss
for what I'm looking for or at. Is there a good How-to or article I can
read to help me figure out if indeed I have managed to horribly
misconfigure the server?
Thanks in advance,
Wayne
