could you turn off apm? (boot with lilo option apm=off) I would reccomend some other package other then iptraf for continous monitoring, unless you have a really small amount of traffic your watching for, the lists that it builds can get really really big, real fast. perhaps tcpdump + some log analysis package? I was looking into sawmill at the beginning of the year and it looked like a excellent logging package,. http://www.sawmill.net/features.html#10 it is not free, but at least at the time it was head and shoulders above any other tcpdump log package i could find. I use Puresecure(www.puresecure.com) to monitor my network, free for home/non-commercial use. it's basically a packaged frontend to snort and mysql, runs quite well. I've been using it for a bit over a year now. nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
