There are some changes in the log file names, and thepolicies on multiple instances have been somewhat relaxed.DISTRIBUTION NOTICE-------------------This is the general release of IPTraf.  IPTraf has been incorporated intothe Debian GNU/Linux, Turbolinux and S.u.S.E. distributions, as well asthe Trinux security toolkit distribution and Red Hat Powertools.Linux distributions may have tailored the IPTraf package to suit theirpurposes.  Direct questions, comments or inquiries about adistribution-specific package to its maintainer.SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS-------------------IPTraf 2 requires Linux 2.2.  It now uses the new PF_PACKET socket familyas its capture mechanism.  This feature is new to the 2.2 kernel.  IPTraf1.4 will still work with kernel 2.2 with no problems, except for a warningmessage in the syslog indicating the use of the obsolete (AF_INET,SOCK_PACKET) mechanism.  The warning can be safely ignored.  Make sure youhave the Packet Socket driver compiled in or installed as a module, orIPTraf will fail (and so will others like it: tcpdump, netwatch, etc).IPTraf also requires glibc 2.1 or later.WHERE IS IT NOW?----------------IPTraf 2 has a reorganized menu structure.  A new facility has beenadded, and some statistical pieces have been moved.  The TCP/UDP servicemonitor has been moved to Statistical breakdowns/By TCP/UDP port.  Thepacket size distribution has also been moved from the detailed interfacestatistics screen to a facility of its own; select Statisticalbreakdowns/By packet size.COPYING AND DISTRIBUTION------------------------This software is OSI Certified Open Source SoftwareOSI Certified is a certification mark of the Open Source Initiative.Redistribution and modification of this software is permitted under theterms of the GNU General Public License.
