DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #43

Curious about your NETWORK TRAFFIC? There's a whole bunch of ways to monitor it: iptraf, showtraf, netwatch, tcpview, statnet, or even

	tcpdump | grep 'what you want to see'
	lsof -i | grep 'LISTEN'

For network statistics try "mrtg". See the ethernet section over at http://www.Linux-Sec.net/

Tip #43 is from Alvin Oga

What's NewbieDoc all about?

Last week, we were Debian newbies. We suffered terribly, changing a setting, installing a package, decoding a log file. An uphill battle, every step of the way.

This week, we'll write down what we learned.

Next week, a newbie's peace-of-mind will be saved because we wrote it down.

What could be better than that?

Join NewbieDoc, and — just maybe — together we'll make Debian/Linux a kinder, gentler platform.
