Hey everybody,

I noticed that pcap is referred to in the flow-import man page, and I saw
on the web that you use "-f 1" to access it, but the format number doesn't
seem to be documented in the flow-import man page.  Is that a bug or is it
so dangerous that they don't want to document it except for saying it's a
hack?

I'm asking because I'm going to be setting up some machines that receive a
raw stream from an optical tap and I may want to transform it into
netflow.  I've used fprobe but I was wondering if I could use flow-tools
by itself for the same purpose.  I'm a bit dubious because I don't see an
immediate way (without fprobe) to get the 15 minute segmentation; I could
`tcpdump | flow-import -f 1`, which would give me flow-tools data, but I
need some kind of "slicer" that makes the 15 minute files.  I don't think
doing something nasty with cron is the solution...any suggestions?

Thanks,

Mike
