Very Computer

Dear all,

We have a UNIX work station which connects directly to Internet. How
can we fulfill real-time monitoring of its network traffic by any
software? I refer to any application like the network statistics
utility adapted on Windows2000. Can I find something similar for UNIX
platform?

The software should be able to monitor sendmail traffic as well.

Thanks for reading this.

Never heard.

Perhaps you could try 'ntop', running in web mode, this might be
what you want, check www.freshmeat.net, you should find the source
over there.

Remove the +SIGNS case mail bounces.

I think what you want is ntop (http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html)
