macwatch is a small daemon that counts in- and
outbytes from a given MAC-address and stores the
result in a file for use with MRTG. It will write
the file every 5 minutes by default, and uses
libpcap to do all the work.
Information regarding Project Releases and Project Resources. Note that the information here is a quote from Freecode.com page, and the downloads themselves may not be hosted on OSDN.
A minor bug introduced by a previous bugfix was
fixed. The mac-address check now allows addresses
to be specified as dash-delimited numbers instead
of colon-delimited numbers.
A crash bug and a data (config) corruption bug which in some cases led to it not working at all have been fixed. A minor file descriptor bug was also fixed.
This release enables logging of multiple hosts without starting several processes. It can read MAC addresses and log filenames from both an argument list and by reading one or more files.
