Network Analyzer
Hi @ all, i am looking for network analyzing software which can * log connections (Host->Host, Src-Port->Dest-Port), do some statistics on that as well as * traffic analyzis like tcpdump or ethereal. I allready had a look on ntop and nast but both do not match the needed criteria. Any ideas?

It seems that a graphical login manager is attempting to start, but fails. A runlevel is isimply a collection of services/daemons to be started as a group, with a logical order.

First of all, thanks for asking this question. Second, let us be clear
about which "Fortran" we are talking about. *Many* people (I don't know
if you are included) have very bad impression on Fortran because all they
know about it is Fortran 77 or 66. A major revision, called Fortran 90,
and its minor revision called Fortran 95, are a very different language.
Fortran 90/95 is a superset of Fortran 77, but the addition over Fortran
77 is a huge improvement. Fortran 90/95 still lacks "modern" features
such as object-oriented programming support, parametric polymorphism,
functional programming support, etc. But it's "usable" to me, whereas
I would call Fortran 77 unusable.
Third, and most important for answering your question, I use Fortran 95
mostly because I can write a certain type of code easily. I think this
example is convincing:
forall (i=1:nx)
where (a(i,:,:) /= b(i))
a(i,:,:) = cos(c(:,:) + e(:,:));
else where
a(i,:,:) = sum(d(:,:,:), dim=3) / count(mask(:,:))
end where
end forall
Fortran 95 has lots of convenient intrinsic capabilities to handle arrays.
And I use arrays a *lot* in numerical codes. The ":" notation means
"all indices". In a simple-minded C++, the above code is roughly equivalent
to
double s[ny][nz];
for (int j=0; j < ny; ++j) {
for (int k=0; k < nz; ++k) {
s[j][k] = 0;
for (int m=0; m < nt; ++m) {
s[j][k] = s[j][k] + d[j][k][m];
}
}
}
int c = 0;
for (int i=0; i < nx; ++i) {
for (int j=0; j < ny; ++j) {
if (mask[i][j]) ++c;
}
}
for (int i=0; i < nx; ++i) {
for (int j=0; j < ny; ++j) {
for (int k=0; k < nk; ++k) {
if (a[i][j][k] != b[i]) {
a[i][j][k] = cos(c[j][k] + e[j][k]);
} else {
a[i][j][k] = s / c;
}
}
}
}
You can see that the Fortran version is easier to write and read. You may
point out that in C++ version, the computation of s and c is outside of the
main loop, so C++ version is more efficient. But, any decent Fortran compiler
will move loop-constants out of the loop. You don't need to worry about it
too much. There's another problem with the above C++ code: If ny and nz
aren't constant, you can't write
double s[ny][nz];
Instead, either you allocate the array in two stages:
double** s = new (double*)[ny];
for (j=0; j < ny; ++j) s[j] = new double[nz];
or you write a multidimensional array class, something like:
template
class ArrayTwoDim {
T* a_; int nx_;
public:
ArrayTwoDim(int nx, int ny) { a_ = new T[nx*ny]; nx_ = nx; }
~ArrayTwoDim() { delete[] a_; }
// operator[]
// operator+, operator-, operator*, operator/,
};
// Also, define sin(), cos(), log(), etc. for a whole array.
The first is cumbersome (Don't forget to deallocate those arrays!) and the
second involves signigicant work. The dynamic allocation of multidimensional
arrays is a piece of cake in Fortran,
real(8):: a(nx,ny) !! nx or ny need not be constant.
!! a is allocated on the stack
or
real(8), allocatable:: a
. . . .
allocate(a(nx,ny)) !! allcated on the heap.
and the deallocation is automatic at the end of the subroutine (or you
can deallocate for yourself if you want an earlier deallocation).
But, you might say, once we've written multidimensional array classes, we
can happily use them. No. Unless the array classes are part of the C++
standard, you'll have problems when you share programs with other people.
And, such classes will be still significantly less powerful than the Fortran
counterpart. For example, sections of array are directly supported by the
core language:
a(:, 3:10, :) = c(1:7, :, :) + sin(d(1:7, :, :))
whereas in C++, either you write
for (int i=0; i < nx; ++i) { // code (1)
for (int j=2; j < 10; ++j) {
for (int k=0; k < nz; ++k) {
a[i][j][k] = c[j-2][i][k] + sin(c[j-2][i][k]);
}
}
}
or you define a Section method for your array

This doesn't make sense here, because the problem is not a file belonging to 2 different packages. Once again, I don't recall a problem with my frozen-bubble upgrades... Actually, there is no /usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav file listed in the frozen-bubble-data 1.0.0-4 package. Very strange... You could start by doing a 'touch /usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav' and see if that solves the problem.

Actually, there's a partition shortage on my system ever since Mandrake refused to make more than about 13 partitions during installation. Most of these serve to give each of my users his own Windows partition so I don't get complaints like "Hey, Henk used all the disk space I freed yesterday." I don't know whether this limitation is real or a figment of Mandrake's imagination.

For example, I need to be able to connect to a couple of servers owned by our customers from a couple of specific hosts only. We have VPNs into their network that allow SSH, but obviously accessing their nameservers is not an option. The hosts file works nicely in this case.

[OT] Apache log analysis packages
I'm looking for suggestions on a good Apache log analysis package for my web server. I've used Sawmill (www.sawmill.net) to do log analysis at work (and it is awesome), but I'm looking for something free (as in beer and freedom). I'm running multiple sites using mod_dyn_vhost, so it needs to have some ability to filter the logs based on something I can configure. Features I'm looking for: * Basic analysis like total hits, total unique visitors, top pages, top referers, stuff like that. * Broken link/ref listings * Some more advanced analysis like the stuff that Sawmill can do, like session analysis, worm identification, etc. * It should either be dynamic or be pretty quick, so I can generate results at will. * It would be nice if I could create "accounts" for the stats pages, so users could view their own stats. Suggestions would be awesome! Thanks, -- Chris Metcalf [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://chrismetcalf.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: dhclient renews lease every 5 secs
Ah - it's not a router - just a plain vanilla modem. I do routing on my gateway which has two nics. THe 300+ will only give out one ip address I think - a private one if no dsl line is found for the purposes of configuring the modem or the public one obtained from the pppoe connection. Also, as far as I can see on the technical specs of the dlink dsl 300+, it supports bridging dhcp... Do you use that? (It doesn't appear that you need to, but...) I've tried stuffing around with dhclient.conf to try and specify the lease time, but I can't get it working. That would not help. If the DHCP server only gives you a lease time for X seconds, holding on to the IP address for longer is dangerous - by then the DHCP server could have given that IP address to somebody else! Fair enough. Finding documentation on configuring these modems is a right pain though :( I recently had occasion to chat up a DSL-300. Despite the documentation (there's a howto at the delink website), it actually configures itself at 192.168.1.1, even when running with an active link, and with a bit of creative use of screen, telnet and good old swipe n paste I was able to make the configuration change remotely through its active link. Fortunately the LAN was on 0.0 so I was able to configure the Linux boxes ethernet interface used for the DSL link with a 1.x address. I gather I can probably get it to log somewhere else, but I'd much rather have it log *much* less frequently. I have a static ip address, so it doesn't need to renew frequently at all. I take it that you have a static *external* ip address? Yeah - really the modem is just acting like an adsl-ethernet bridge. The only thing that was confusing me is that the modem is using pppoe to connect to my ISP, rather than a straight bridged connection. In my case the DSL is just a dumb modem and the PPPoE stuff is done in the Linux box. But as I said in a previous email, setting my ecternal interface up as a static interface seems to be working ok. And hopefully will continue to do so unless my ISP changes my IP address without telling me. You really should talk to your IAP about this. It could be their end is broken or you've misapplied the instructions. -- Cheers John -- spambait [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

THANK YOU SO MUCH CARLOS! This solved my problems. You are correct - I do have a foot in two universes. I'm learning, and I took the path of least resistance with a Knoppix HDD install. I initially had lots of weirdness with the default sources and changed to ONLY the US Debian unstable main source. I had no problems with upgrade for a couple of months; today's problems surfaced with the dist-upgrade. (I admit I was warned about the 2 universes.)

Knoppix is "popular enough" that there are more than enough speedy (for dialup users) ftp and http mirrors to download it from. The one time I got the download wrong, I used rsync for two hours.

Does this mean the bittorrent upload rate equals the download rate? This doesn't look good. A look at my ppp stats shows that for the 159MB I downloaded this day, I sent out 4MB. This is while downloading (ftp and http) two linux isos, a 27MB video clip (mplayer), surfing (w3m text-mode), and sending out a few emails (no attachments). > But if it is your only source for the file...

The WM/Fluxbox packages are actually simple "desktop environments", because they bundle panels, etc. I suspect the extra bits you want to complement Metacity can be obtained by installing the gnome-panel package. Or, as Ricky says, any other panel should work with Metacity. That would be odd, but doable. I'm not surprised that the Metacity distribution-independent documentation doesn't tell you what *Debian* package to install.

Since neither knx-alsa (a Knoppix-specific package IIRC) nor ntfsprogs are in the Debian archives, you appear to be mixing packages from different archive "universes", and are thus experiencing the resulting namespace conflicts. I would advise you to strictly stick to the Debian archives or the Knoppix ones, but not both. That said, if you are willing to take your chances, you can always try 'dpkg -i --force-overwrite /path/to/package.deb'. -- Carlos Sousa http://vbc.dyndns.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

RE: Debian crashes
I had similar problems a week or so ago. It wasn't limited to Firefox, sometimes it was doing a file search, sometimes it was with the screensaver running, it would just happen off and on. When it did, I could not SSH into the machine or switch out of X or anything. I was using kernel 2.6.6-1-i686 on an AMD Athlon. I upgraded using apt to the 2.6.7-1-k7 kernel and the problem went away. I changed nothing else on the machine. It's been running for over a week now without a single hiccup. Before, it crashed 3 or 4 times a day.

In that case, please check the plugins/extentions installed, create a new user profile and use that for a while and see how it goes. Although in theory, a single application should not have the power to do that (lock your physical I/O).

A benevolent dictator's word is law, but he rules to the > benefit of those whom he rules. Taking advice is, of course, allowed and > good. So is making decisions. Debian's release manager *is* essentially a benevolent dictator, or at least he very nearly has the power to be. He takes more of a hands-off approach and tries to automate the process as much as possible (automatic migration of packages from unstable to testing). Automation is a very good thing since it provides excellent scalability. He doesn't set goals or time frames very often, probably because it's not very helpful. For example, it took at least 6 months just to get glibc in releasable shape across all architectures, another few months for the gcc 2.95 => 3.x transition, and a couple years to get debian-installer usable. If the RM were to bark out orders and demand that everything be ready in 6 months, it wouldn't really help anyway since it doesn't make fixing stuff any easier. debian-installer has been the major bottleneck, and everyone has known it would be since woody's release. It doesn't matter how many times the RM shouts, "Hey, we need to finish the installer!" Someone still needs to do the work. > That, I think, is about how the kernel works. The kernel release process is very similar to Debian's, and they generally take about the same amount of time (2-3 years) to prepare a release. The major difference is that the stable kernel is way more lax when in comes to adding new features, especially for hardware support, so no one really minds when it take 3 years to release a new kernel. Debian stable, on the other hand, is nearly unchanged since its release over 2 years ago. -- You win again, gravity! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You can use /etc/modules to have them loaded at boot time. AFAIK /etc/modules is still a reasonable place to add modules you want that are not automatically loaded, although a lot of new capability is in the works in the 2.6 kernel and the udev project, which may make other methods preferred. Also, there may be cases where you simply need to add an appropriate "alias" line in /etc/modprobe.d/aliases to get a module to automatically load when needed. -- Chris Harris <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- GNU/Linux --- The best things in life are free. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Converting Exim4 to quasi-satellite
I'm responsible for a department's mail subdomain, and my upstream has quietly changed their mail handling rules. (The systems listed in their MX records no longer accept mail from the campus network, so we can't send mail to the rest of campus. Of course, we can still send mail to the rest of the Internet.) We've had a simple Intenet mail host configuration to date, but now we need to relay outbound mail through their general-purpose relay host. We're running Exim4 on woody. Debian's version of Exim4 comes with some special scripting, and I wonder if anyone can tell me the preferred place to set up this new relaying rule.

The advantage of bittorent is that it takes the load off the server. The only way it might help the downloader is by potentially keeping the d/l speed up to the full capability of the connection rather than being throttled by a busy server. But every last byte of the original file still must be funnelled through the dialup modem or whatever. Never heard of tornado but it sounds like it is a similar method. Contrast these with jigdo which takes the load of both the server and the downloader by downloading only what the downloader does not already have available locally.

It could be argued that the process of adding a device driver to a W*nd*ws box and having it reboot in order to reconfigure the win32 kernel is not that unlike a recompilation from the non-technical user's point of view. Sure, that's an overly simplistic way of looking at it, since a kernel recompile is not just about adding support for new hardware, but... I dislike MS and W*nd*ws for a number of reasons, but installing a driver for a piece of hardware was *usually* not that troublesome in W*nd*ws. (Although I've had my share of problems as a technical consultant.) As for 'lates and greatest' software, well, if it's broken, it won't do much good. Seen that on more than one occasion with Linux. Then again, I've found much useful software under Linux, sometimes even in a pretty early state of development, so there you go. Still, I'm sticking to Linux (particularly Debian) because of the positive things: GPL licensed, open-source, non-proprietary, standards-compliant, et cetera. It' will require more from me as a user, but I'm a stubborn b*st*rd. > Sorry I'm not more help -- I'm not up-to-date with the latest versions > of things, and unfortunately I can't bring my play-around computer down > right now to see what has changed.
