I just heard about iftop at a Seattle Unix Group meeting last
night, and it appears to be a very useful tool for diagnosing
network issues. Basically it's like the ``top'' program, but for
network interfaces.
As Ralf suggested bringing new packages up on openpkg-dev before
committing them to the current tree, our SPRMS for this is here:
ftp://ftp.celestial.com/tmp/iftop-0.17-20060412.src.rpm
I have built and tested this on SuSE Linux Enterprise 9 and
FreeBSD 4.8 (the freebsd version doesn't automatically pick up
the correct interface but works fine when it's specified with the
-i option).

The day-to-day travails of the IBM programmer are so amusing to most of
us who are fortunate enough never to have been one -- like watching
Charlie Chaplin trying to cook a shoe.
