Norm,
You can use systat through an xterm window to monitor all incoming and
outgoing data. type: systat -netstat 1
It'll run off the remote site as long as you can at the least get access to
the shell(assuming it's unix) and run the program. Or if the computer is on
LAN, you could just "sniff."
It shows the deamon/port on the local server, the remote IP, UDP or TCP,
sent and rec. packets, and socket activity.. that sort of stuff.
Unfortunately it's only text base and doesn't log, just dumps to the screen
every second.
Would like to know of a good alternative, i.e. a graphical monitoring system
w/logging. no sniffers.
