I don't know how many of you guys out there use Netwatch --
http://www.slctech.org/~mackay/netwatch.html But for those of you who don't, it's a very powerful tool for monitoring udp and tcp connections to and from your system. It can show all connections either by their human or machine names (your choice), and offers a wealth of info on them. It is different from alot of the newer less functional GUI traffic analyzers in that it is operable from the console, with a much larger level of functionality than many of it's GUI cousins. It pretty much shows everything. Real handy for possibly unsolicited connections. Lately I've had compile errors while attempting to create a new RPM. I emailed the author with some info on the compile errors and he was so kind as to give me a fast reply regarding exactly how to fix the problem. I thought this was an excellent candidate for the expert list. Hopefully this will help someone here or perhaps even prompt you to look into this excellent program for yourself. -----Forwarded Message----- From: G.

They have changed some header files and libraries. My software has not been updated to reflect this. What can you do? In "netwatch.c", add an include #include <time.h> In "curs.c", comment out /* for (i = 0; i < MLINES; i++) mvchgat (i, 0, MCOLS, 0, 4, NULL); */ *** For some strange reason... this causes my software to give a segmentation fault. I will provide alternative code ASAP. Good luck, and sorry for the problem Gordon MacKay Network Coordinator St. Lawrence College (Cornwall) [EMAIL PROTECTED] PS... Thanks for using "netwatch"
