I am fairly new to OpenBSD with significant experience with Linux. I'm
considering switching some of our infrastructure based systems to
OpenBSD because of the security reputation and ease of updates.

One of the intended boxes is a network monitor that will go inline
between a host and an Ethernet switch. I've configured a transparent
bridge and it works great. The ease of this alone is impressive.

One utility I'm used to using for monitoring is Ethereal. I've seen all
of the comments from the OpenBSD user community and understand why it's
no longer available through ports. Does anyone know of a similar tool
that will work well with OpenBSD and is also secure? I need more
information in human readably form that I can get from tcpdump or
sniffit.

Thank for any advice anyone can give.
