1) trying iptraf, I found out, that it is not working as it should. No logs and it is also not possible to configure it. When I look here,
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/25392754/dir/other/com/iptraf-3.0.0-1.efw.i386.rpm.html
iptraf needs a config file and /var/log/iptraf
but when I try to create this files in SliTaz, I still get message, that iptraf is unable to creat the log files.
2) for logging monthley networktraffic, it would be cool to have vnStat and vnStati

Hi Thomas,
Please try my package [c]iptraf[/c] I builded independently (see attach). It is fork of the original [c]iptraf[/c].
And it needs package [c]libpanel[/c] (see attach too or http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=libpanel ).
Package [c]vnstat[/c] is added: http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=vnstat
It already contains [c]vnstati[/c], but you need to install package [c]libgd[/c] to produce images using [c]vnstati[/c].

thx Aleksej - very quick, because I am on tour...
first iptraf:
1) logs are working in your version....
2) there is also no config file - so it is not possible to configure iptraf
the error here is :"Cannot create config file", when I turn on logging in Configure
3) the normal SliTaz version does not have this error: "Warning: unable to lock general interface statistics on"
second vnstat
1) vnstat -l works as expected....
2) the daemon does not work -
root@slitaz:/home/tux2 /etc/init.d/vnstat start
bash: /etc/init.d/vnstat: No such file or directory

Hi Thomas,

Sorry for silly question — how can I re-produce it? With which keys I should run iptraf?
My iptraf package has (empty) file [c]/var/run/iptraf/iptraf.cfg[/c] and there's a question... that I can solve with the [c]strace[/c] I think...
/etc/init.d/vnstat: No such file or directory
Yes, absent. It is not produced in the compiling time, and I should to write it by myself... I'll see other /etc/init.d/* files for example...

About vnstat daemon: if it's an ordinary daemon, can't you just [c]ln -s daemon vnstat[/c]?

Hi Aleksej,
just in the terminal as root
# iptraf
then you go to "Configure"
go to "Logging" - turn it on (with Enter) and go to "Exit configuration"
then you get the error
then you go to "Detailed Interface statistics" - select the interface and you get the errors

and here is the /etc/init.d/vnstat from Ubuntu
I cant attach - so just here

Hi Thomas,
Thank you very much for the details. Tomorrow I'll see what's wrong with the vnstat configuration and will add daemon startup file (with some adapting for SliTaz).

Hi Thomas,
Sorry, I have only time to tell what I found, no package changes few more days:
Package missed important working folder, create it once manually now:
[c]# mkdir -p /var/run/iptraf[/c]
Configure → Logging → turn on → Exit configuration → no error
Detailed Interface statistics → select the interface → asks for log file every time (press Enter) → works and no error
________
Funny minute:
[c]# iptraf --help
Invalid option or missing parameter, use iptraf -h for help
# vnstatd -h
Unknown arg "-h". Use --help for help.[/c]

thx Aleksej
iptraf works now as it should
iptraf-ng has the same error, but also needs
mkdir -p /var/log/iptraf-ng

Hi Thomas,
New versions are available:
http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=iptraf
http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=iptraf-ng
http://cook.slitaz.org/cooker.cgi?pkg=vnstat
Changes:
http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/5f489761d0c4
http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/8e7ad14f5f88
Please test when you can.
Note, vnstat daemon can start now automatically at a boot time to collect traffic values (need to add "vnstatd" to the RUN_DAEMONS string in the /etc/rcS.conf).
