The maintainer of the etherape port is Thank you for the kind offer! I think you like to work with logic! :) Under SGI there was this nifty program which gives you a quick visual view of the number of connections and bandwidth used. I don't recall the name but it's essentially working like etherape. Besides from agreeing with your assessment of the inadequate nature, I was delighted to see it as since the graphical display gives you an instant picture of the number of connections and load used by each connection. It lets me select a link and get more data, like current and total bandwidth including address, by clicking on it. I can also terminate a connection (if I recalled that right). On a big network it's probably not workable, too many entries, lines etc. Yes, sight, it does so at a large CPU expense. I was actually looking for ethereal and ran into etherape. I need ethereal as it does a better job than anything I've seen in analyzing packets, and generally debug network issues. It's a bloated hog too, but works reasonably well. Ethereal was pulled after a big security hole was found. It took several versions later to fix (0.10.14, at least .10, if I recall correctly). I got a VoIP issue and need to analyze the packet communication to see what is being "said" by whom. Being familiar with ethereal it's my choice tool. -- Bulk _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
