Statnet

COMPILATION:

  - Edit the makefile to meet your needs (nothing much to edit though)
  - Edit the '#define ETH "eth0"' line in stat.h if you don't want
    eth0 to be the default ethernet device that statnetd listens to.
    The device can be changed with a runtime option.
  - Type "make"

INSTALLATION:

  - Copy statnet and statnetd to the place you want to have them
    or use "make install".

RUNNING:

  - You need root privileges for statnetd because the program has to set your
    ethernet card in promiscuous mode.
  - Start statnetd perhaps with "-d" option to make it run in background.

  - run statnet to view statistics.

DISTRIBUTED USE:
  - The DIPC Linux kernel modification is supported, which allows the 
    shared memory to be shared between systems.  If DIPC is installed,
    the Statnet shared memory can be shared between member systems.
  - Intended configuration is one system running the privileged statnetd
    data gathering daemon, and all other systems have read-only access to
    the statistics.
