This did, in fact, install ncurse-5.4-20041023-6 But as you
predicted it didn't change much.
So, to summarise, my situation is this:
- dnstop-20050203-21 does not update its display properly. The
information can be delayed for several hours. The display is time
stamped, so this is easily spotted.
- When the information eventually is displayed it appears to be
correct - I verified this by comparing the result with the packets
that ettercap received using:
sudo ettercap --text //53
- Capturing packets with tcpdump, and analysing/displaying them
interactively with dnstop show the dispay problem:
sudo tcpdump -w tcpdump.out -c 10 port 53
sudo dnstop -st tcpdump.out
(I earlier wrote that this was noninteractive, it is in fact very
much interactive)
- Capturing packets with tcpdump, and analysing with dnstop, and
piping the result to a file does *not* show any problems:
sudo tcpdump -w tcpdump.out -c 10 port 53
sudo dnstop -st tcpdump.out > dnstop.out
cat dnstop.out
- Downgrading to an older version of ncurses does not solve any
visible problems.
I should add that when the information is, eventually, displayed,
distortions occurs when the Terminal window is refreshed during
resizing etc. Distortions include:
- sometimes columns are not underlined correctly
- the time stamp is very seldom redrawn
In conclusion, my problem:
- is not network related, as the relevant and correct information is
collected.
- is not an issue in relation to analysis of the collected data.
- is shown only when dnstop displays information via ncurses.
- exists on two computers: a G3/10.3 and a G4/10.4, both fully updated.
What is the correct procedure for me to follow from here ?

Henrik
