I think it's pseudo-english. When you do a google search on sniffying, it asks "Did you mean to search for: sniffing"
You know what a (packet) sniffer is, right? So where a native techo-speaker of english might say "sniffing...", somebody added a stray Y.. "Why? because we like you" (Sorry, that's US 1950's pop-culture (NO, I'm not THAT old, but I do know about the Mickey Mouse Club)) Seriously, no clue, I just always assumed it was an English as a second language artifact. But if you've ever seen my babelfished Itallian, I'm not one to talk! I sort of hope it doesn't ever get fixed - it does make it much easier to grep in the logs... -----Burton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Serge Maandag Sent: Friday, February 22, 2002 7:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Ntop] sniffying Can someone explain me why ntop is "sniffying" ? Is it a typo or am I missing something. It has been saying it from the very early releases.
