Thanks!
==========[snip]========
KSnuffle, the KDE network packet sniffer, is now available for download
from:
ftp://195.92.31.34/ksnuffle-2.2/ksnuffle-2.2.tgz
This version has been built against a fairly recent KDE2.1 CVS snapshot.
The manual pages are online at
http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/ksnuffle.manual
The main change from 2.1 is a work-around for the forthcoming KDE
change whereby setuid programs will not be run.
Please note that if the remote sniffer interface is not compatible with
2.0 and earlier versions. If you use remote sniffers, then you will need to
reinstall the rsnuffle daemon.
A few people have asked about RPMs. Sorry, none avaiable. I've got a
non-standard setup anyway, and there are two many combinations (RH, Suse,
Mandrake, installed under /usr or /opt/kde, etc.) to do this. Volunteers?
Regards

=====[The Actual Announcement]========================================
KSnuffle is a network packet sniffer for KDE. Features include:
* Basic filtering and packet selection via the GUI
* Advanced filtering and packet selection via filter programs
* Multiple concurrent monitors
* Text and binary logging, plus replay of binary log files
* Textual display of network traffic overview
* Full(er) details of protocol and application data available
* Display of data in TCP/IP streams
* Network load histograms and time-averaged load display
* Parallel display of multiple load histograms
* Save and restored filter and packet selection configurations
* Support for use by selected non-root users
* Plugin support - 0.8 contains plugins for
* TCP/IP stream monitoring
* DNS lookup monitoring,
* Traffic summaries
* End-to-End summaries
In its current state it is, so far as I can tell, quite reliable. The
main area where is is lacking is actually decoding different network
packets. At the moment, it handles basic decoding of TCP/IP and UDP/IP,
plus ARP/RARP and ICMP. Packet decoding does not go down into the
application level except for DNS packets.
Also, KSnuffle uses libpcap-0.4, as used by tcpdump. As I only have access
to Linux boxen, I cannot build or test it for any other Unix. I'd be
interested if anyone else could try.
KSnuffle is available from ftp://195.92.31.34/pub/ksnuffle-2.1/ ; there
is a homepage at http://www.quaking.demon.co.uk/ksnuffle.html. The latter
contains some screen shots and other information.

Subject: New Open Source related usenet hierarchy: nlo.*

Reply-To: news@nl.linux.org
nl.linux.org presents a new usenet-hierarchy: nlo.*. nlo.* is aimed
specifically for Open Source developers. Developers can get their own
newsgroup for their projects with little effort. nlo.* also mirrors all
public mailinglists from nl.linux.org, including the kernelnewbies
mailinglist.
Currently news.nl.linux.org is the only server carrying the hierarchy, but
as of now we're also feeding to the outside world. We've already got major
peers in three continents, warrenting a fairly good initial distribution.
However, you may have to ask your newsmaster to add the hierarchy to his
servers before you can access the groups.
Probably of less interest since you probably already read this from usenet:
news.nl.linux.org also offers free NTTP accounts for OSS-developers. The
server carries nlo.*, comp.os.linux.*, comp.lang.*, linux.*, redhat.*,
gnu.*, staroffice.*, opera.*, fm.*, bofh.* [1] and nl.*.
More information is on our website: http://news.nl.linux.org/doc/nlo.html
[1] bofh.* has no feed yet, we're working on it.

Hello,
I have Linux Kheops 3.3 on a CD that i want to install on my PC. My PC is a
pentium 90 Mhz, 64 Mo and 6 Go running windows 98 SE. Please tell me whether
this version will do on my PC, what is the latest version. I also want to
keep windows on it.
Do you have special advice you want to make?
Thank you in advance for helping.
Warming greetings,
Fabrice.
