I'd like to be able to monitor tcp/ip traffic on my system without having to rewrite all of the socket() related system calls to include instrumentation. Is there an easy way to notify a process that a connection is being made on that particular machine? Once I have that, I believe I can make a daemon that will transparently pass this information between communicating processes. The program xmon which monitors X protocol streams, does something close to what I want; it looks like the X server to the clients, and looks like the clients to the X server, but it knows what port numbers to listen to; I don't, and therefore have to somehow monitor all ports for communication requests. Any input would be appreciated, --craig ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Craig S. Hughes UUCP: ...bbn!hri.com!limey Horizon Research, Inc.
