On a distant list, far away... Someone asked if Ethereal had the functionality of Sniffer (the commercial equivalent) to draw a picture of the communications between machines. It only took me an hour and a half to write a command line script that accepted a network capture file and produced a picture (gif, postscript or what-have-you) that showed conversations between machines as lines between labelled boxes. Then someone else pointed out that two sed invocations and a tr could be replaced by a simple awk script. I love Linux. To blow your mind: man awk -- Richard Urwin
