Cyrus, A couple of things
1/ this needs a tidy up JAVA_PATH= and set the path to /usr/java/j2re<version number>/bin So the line should look like this: JAVA_PATH=/usr/local/j2re<version number>/bin second JAVA_PATH should read /usr/java/ not /usr/local/ could confuse some people. 2/ Perhaps a warning that netprobe places the eth port in promiscuous mode. I ran netprobe last night on eth1 (external port) and in the space of an hour had generated over 1meg in DNS (port 53) traffic. That is 720 megs of extra traffic per month. Could be a bit of a surprise for those who may be running traffic limited DSL or cable. Apart from that it is a very nice how-to and application.
