Syntax /usr/sbin/iptrace [ -a ] [ -P Protocol ] [ -i Interface ] [ -p Port ] [ -s Host [ -b ]] [ -d Host [ -b ]] LogFile Description The /usr/sbin/iptrace daemon records Internet packets received from configured interfaces. Command flags provide a filter so that the daemon traces only packets meeting specific criteria. Packets are traced only between the local host on which the iptrace daemon is invoked and the remote host(s). > > ipreport says nothing to me. Could it be like netstat? Purpose Generates a packet trace report from the specified packet trace file. Syntax /usr/sbin/ipreport [ -e ] [ -r ] [ -n ] [ -s ] [ -1 ] [ -2 ] LogFile Description The /usr/sbin/ipreport command generates a trace report from the specified trace file created by the iptrace command. The LogFile parameter specifies the name of the file containing the results of the Internet Protocol trace. This file is created by the ip- trace command. > > Greg > -- Robert Eckardt \\ FreeBSD -- solutions for a large universe.(tm) RobertE@MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de \\ What do you want to boot tomorrow ?(tm) http://WWW.MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de/~roberte For PGP-key finger roberte@gluon.MEP.Ruhr-Uni-Bochum.de
