Topic

Updated iptraf packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

IPTraf is a console-based network monitoring utility. IPTraf gathers data such
as TCP connection packet and byte counts, interface statistics and activity
indicators, TCP/UDP traffic breakdowns, and LAN station packet and byte counts.

This updated iptraf package fixes the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, interface names were checked by IPTraf against a

whitelist of names to determine whether an interface was supported. Network
devices can have arbitrary names and due to the changes for "Consistent Network
Device Naming", the interface names will change to location-based names.
Consequently, IPTraf could reject certain interface names. This update removes
the interface name check and as a result IPTraf always accepts device names.
(BZ#682350)

All users of iptraf are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
Hat Network to apply this update are available at
