Version 0.7 of dialmon is now available. This version primarily fixes
a few bugs related to connection logging.
New features are:
PAM authentication
support to monitor dial-in connections
windows client configurations that follow the user
This version has been tested against diald-0.16.x; the next version
of dialmon should make use of the new diald features. The dial-in
connection and windows client configuration stuff seems to work OK,
but I have just one system to test on! Feedback welcome!
It is currently available from ftp://195.92.31.34/pub/dialmon-0.7; there
is a .tgz source file, plus RPMs for RedHat 5.x. Sorry, but I can
no longer generate 4.x RPMs
There is also a KDE client now available, see the dialmon home page. This
is new stuff for me so I hope it is reasonably OK. Again, all feedback
welcome.
The dialmon home page http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/dialmon.html has
now been brought up to date, and contains links to the source and RPMs,
plus the LSM. The LSM is at the bottom of this mailing.
I will upload to Sunsite is all seems OK, if there are some problems
then a Sunsite upload will probably wait a bit.

* link traffic display (bar or histogram)
* diald packet queue display
* connection logging and display
* diald/pppd restart
* multiple diald configurations
* disable diald
* user and host based access control
* PAM authentication (*)
* dial-in monitoring (*)
* windows client configuration follows user (*)
I have included clients which run on WfWG3.11 (with TCP/IP), on Win95/98/NT,
and a Tcl/TK client Linux/X (does not support all - or most - of the features).
