What is iftop? What does it do?
iftop does for network usage what top(1) does for CPU usage.

checking where to find pcap.h... no idea
configure: error: can't find pcap.h
You're not going to get very far without libpcap.
You may want to add how to install libpcap on your system. That error shows up on a plain RedHat 9 box.

Actually it required:
libpcap
libcurses
which we can read it at http://www.ex-parrot.com/~pdw/iftop/
Using up2date to install the required packages:
Code:
up2date libpcap ncurses ncurses-devel

you can add your libpcap from your WHM. Go to install rpm. Go down to libpcap.

I've implemented it in my Redhat box.
Nice tool... Now, I can make my network monitoring software to use this to do some of the work that i really thought of coding myself.
Thanks.

Does this put the ethernet card into PROMISC mode? I installed it and chkrootkit told me the ethernet was in PROMISC mode the next time it ran.

iirc yes it will, iftop is based on pcap, which will set the interface this way so you can capture all the packets on teh card

actually chkrootkit reports anomalies pretty often. if you run cpanel it will also indicate smtps listening on port 465 as a bindshell which is a false alarm of course.
