I know there is a port or a package, but last time I looked it was a very old version & functions were severely limited compared with the version available from ntop.org. Main problems with ntop are the virtually non-existent documentation & inability to easily log statistics for later use. It doesn't need X because its run on the server but output is viewed in a remote browser (sorta like webmin) ----- Original Message ----- From: To: Sent: Monday, March 26, 2001 9:55 AM Subject: IP Traffic monitoring > Hiya all, > > I'm after a utility (preferably console based, but an X app will do if > it does the job) to monitor the amount of traffic received by hosts on > my network segment.
