People,

Has anyone had success with the later versions of:

etherreal
libpcap
ntop

on T64 v5.0A?

Etherreal compiled fine, but does not seem to understand a DEGPA, the only
packets we pick up are the lat packets (there are plenty of SNMP we are
interested in, the DEGPA light is blinking quite frequently <grin>)..

libpcap version 0.4 is the one we have been able to compile, 0.5 did not
like us, don't know if that is related to the above problem.

ntop, is just a disaster. After hacking various sections of code, changed:
ip_hl to ip_vhl,
th_off to th_xoff,
remove the ATM references,
it is then not happy with our libgdbm.... Could be libpcap again as well.

If anyone has any references or comments, or alternative network monitoring
suggestion, they would be most welcome.

Regs,

Guy
