around a PuTTY issue (doesn't honor vt100 line-drawing when in UTF-8 mode) to get sane lines drawn instead of letters. When using PuTTY in UTF-8 mode, you have to execute "NCURSES_NO_UTF8_ACS=1 iftop" in the future. Technically, relinking from curses to ncursesw is just half of the solution, calling setlocale() is the rest. For further information, please have a look to Red Hat Bugzilla, bug ID #546032: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=546032
README for iftop $Id$ Read the INSTALL file, manual page and source code for more information. iftop must be run as root. KNOWN ISSUES RedHat 7.2: There is a bug in the version of ncurses distibuted with RedHat 7.2 that will cause iftop to segfault. The RPM in RedHat's Rawhide distribution fixes this. Slackware 8.1: You may need to upgrade your libpcap (by updating the tcpdump package) in order to compile iftop. FreeBSD 4.7: This version of FreeBSD lacks a proper gethostbyaddr_r function. You should choose an alternative name resolution technique using the --with-resolver=... option to configure. Solaris: On Solaris, iftop has to run in promiscuous mode in order to capture outgoing packets. iftop autoconfigures to run in promiscuous mode on Solaris, but will filter out non-broadcast packets which are not addressed to or from localhost. On Solaris, the -p option merely disables that filter. If you have some other sort of system that behaves like Solaris in needing promiscuous mode, you can pass --enable-default-promiscuous to configure to enable this behavior. Cf. http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2002/02/msg00010.html The version of curses distributed with Solaris may not be sufficient for iftop's needs. You will probably need ncurses or similar.
