bug with interfaces that are not up


On a Linux 2.6.20-16-server build, with a ~3 week old version of Argus3:

If ones config file has:

    # fgrep eth /etc/argus.conf
    ARGUS_INTERFACE=eth0
    ARGUS_INTERFACE=eth1
    ARGUS_INTERFACE=eth5

but

    /sbin/ifconfig eth5 up

has not been run, then argus will not collect most traffic
on eth0 and eth1 (even though they are up).  It drops all
but about .5% of the traffic.

Obviously not a config I should do, but since there wasn't
any traffic on eth5 yet, I had not worried about it.

Wiki reference

Gentle people,
Is there any chance we can remove the reference to tcp4me on the wiki?

I can't contribue or link to something that supports that site.

RPM Spec file bugs

I was attempting to build the argus-3.0.0 RPMs which I downloaded only a 
few days ago from:
ftp://ftp.qosient.com/dev/argus-3.0/

Running a simple 'rpmbuild -ba argus.spec' command was successful except 
for two bugs.

The first was that 'ntasbug' is not included in the compiled programs. 
I assume this was meant to be 'argusbug' from some posts back in 2006. 
Also, the man/man5/argus.5 file is missing from the tarball, so that 
doesn't copy over either.

Thanks,
Phil

Re: RPM Spec file bugs

Hey Phil,
Thanks!!!!   I'll get those changes into the code set, which will
be argus-3.0.1.  I sent you some mail earlier about your opinion
regarding the GUI work that I would like to do in earnest.

Any reactions?

Carter

Re: RPM Spec file bugs

To be honest, I don't remember getting it. Are you sure it was me? 
There is another guy named Philipp on this list who is working on 
ArgusEye.  I avoid GUI's whenever possible.  :-)

I've found another issue that is causing radium in argus-clients-3.0.0 
to be compiled into its own directory and not into the bin/ directory 
and that is causing some hiccups as well.  I'm working through that 
issue right now and hope to have something more concrete soon.

Thanks for the changes,
Phil

Re: RPM Spec file bugs

Follow up email on the argus-client issues...

I had to make some changes to radium/Makefile.in.  Right side is the 
modified side.  I just copied this code straight out of ratop's 
Makefile.in so forgive me if I messed some convention up.  In my 
defense, it worked. :-)

I also deleted the lines about ramatrix and raxml out of the 
argus-client spec file since there is no code for them I could find in 
the package.

Thanks!
