Can you create the following directories :

/var/lib/iptraf
/var/run/iptraf

and test again ?

thanks nico that worked 100%

Update: cant seem to change the settings and exit

ok, good to hear, but we'll have to find a way to make it work out-of-the-box...

I use PPPoE with a DSL Modem on a WRT54GS 1.0 (98% sure about that, may be 1.1)
Line: 3084Up/384kbit/s down
OpenWRT WR RC3

The Speed on device ppp0 is not correct, the download rate is always below 2000kbit/s,
although my local client shows a speed at 360kbyte/s (2.880kbit/s)
I have tested this with wget/Linux and Getright/Windows (which also shows the real download speed).

This utility is GREAT.  I love it.  Can I see kbits/s per IP address with this baby?

Bug:  The Configure menu hangs.  Can't get out of it without shutting down terminal and reconnecting and re-running.  Is this a known problem?

I can confirm the configure menu bug.  I'm having the same problem.  Any idea whats wrong?

The iptraf package available here doesn't have the configure menu bug: http://www.katastrophos.net/wrt54g/packages/

You will need to install the ncurses package on that page for it as well though.

Did you make something particular in order not to get this configuration menu bug ?

Those packages aren't mine. I found them by searching the forums for iptraf.

I can confirm both the startup bug and the configuration bug. This program is a lifesaver, though, and it runs on the most helpful place it could: the router. Thank you for this.

Wow, this thread is two years old, I just noticed. I guess the bugs aren't getting fixed...
