May 30th, 1997
For 0.7 Release...
Added a SERVICE process fed by pipes and primed by signals to
resolve NAMES from ADDRESSES (which has been a HUGE factor in the
Netwatch slowdown in processing). Process is called "netresolv"
and is started via "netwatch" itself... should also be killed via
"netwatch" on exit....
Mar. 15th, 1997
OK... non-blocking "select" call (because Linux seems to MISS certain
packets to get through "select"... causing blocking)
Mar. 14th, 1997
Multitude of Speed Fixes
Removing STATNET specific code
Non-blocking socket usage!!! (Why? Wait at select call... don't wait
at recvfrom()
Mar. 12th, 1997
Oops..BUG FIX.. SEGV.. fixed bad array lengths in gh.c....
Mar. 12th, 1997
Added Host tracing with FULL screen mode ('z' command while in 's' mode)
Removed -O2 compile option to fix performance problem (??? WHY ???)
Changed old 's' command to be 'l' for logging to file
Feb. 24th, 1997
Changed keyboard handler to be invoked via select call rather than
a polling method...
Added HOST selection for monitoring the last 10 packets of a specific site
Added 's' command for saving (appending to a log file)
Uses /proc/net/route to pick up configuration info... if there
Calls home for simple network registration... packet info restricted to
very generic info... not even user name
Feb. 15th, 1997
For 0.5c release
Added support for REMOTE/LOCAL packet/byte monitoring
Added command for eliminating DOMAIN service remote sites (Display only)
'd' command
Added command to eliminate the OLD (i.e. BLUE) sites (local & remote)
(Display only)
'b' command
Sept. 27th, 1996
For 0.5b release
Fixed <ncurses.h> missing in the NEW Linux distributions...
MUST #define OLDLINUX to have the old version support... see netwatch.h
and uncomment that line... (if you need ncurses.h)
Aug. 27th, 1996
For 0.5a release
Fixed REDRAW bug... so display is cleaner without refresh problem
Added ^L to allow screen redraw if someone writes to the display
during program execution
Added reliable signal handler to a) use "sigaction"
b) handle INTR and HUP signals gracefully
Vt100 and other B/W ttys should work now...
For 0.5 Release
1.0 Made workaround for NCURSES bug which caused "hang" at a
"getch()" even though there is a NODELAY option in effect.
2.0 Added HELP feature - displaying HELP pages on request (H or F1 key)
3.0 Added Watch Facility - to display router stats including
maximum burst rates (on a second interval in BITS/SEC)
Ability to Clear Burst info ('c' key)
4.0 Added command line argument handling to
a) set another config file other than /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
b) handle eth1 or another eth device (No way to verify it
here!)
Aug. 23rd , 1996
For 0.4 Release...
1.0 Revamped the "processrcinet.c" routine to PARSE the
"ifconfig" line and be smarter about GLOBAL variables in
use as opposed to hard coded addresses.
NOTE: As global variables, it still assumes IPADDR and
NETMASK as the names of info that it picks up.
2.0 New Statistics
- router throughput (updated per minute -- roughly )
- new option for actual BYTE counts received and transmitted
