However we would like to monitor the IP traffic on our network by IP number. Under Solaris there is a 'snoop' utility that allows you to watch the ethernet port, and hence see all traffic, but a) I havn't encountered this under FreeBSD, b) It's a bit like cracking a nut with a wrecking ball ;-) Something that simply watches for 'a period' every 'larger period' and logs to a table the data/IP_No. Cheers, -- Neil Fowler Wright Systems Administrator Corpex Ltd. +44 171 242 4555
