Re: Argus on FreeBSD

Hi Carter,

This is what I am running (argus, radium and ratop) on the freebsd locally:

 ./argus -s -m -U 256 -i em0 -P 562 -d
 ./radium -S localhost:562 -P 561 -d

Now if I run on the freebsd locally:
 ./ratop -S localhost:562
I get results

Else if I run
 ./ratop -S localhost:561
No results

Also if I run:
./ratop -S 192.168.1.253:561
No results

I get none

Thanks
Monah
